Google is not working

[Potatoman]

Help! I cant get on to google.co.uk !!! Every other website is working fine. Any one else got the problem?

[Philtaz]

Working OK for me.  Try the link:

http://www.google.co.uk/

No, nothing... a box in Firefix just comes up and says "www.google.co.uk cannot be found. Please check the name and try again". Looks like i have something nasty. Thanks for checking, Philtaz

All sorted now - Just incase any one else gets this problem, uninstalling Firefox and re-installing sorted it

The problem was not with Firefox it was with google themselves.

A DNS issue or say they say.

I very much doubt it was reinstalling Firefox that cured it. I would say a DNS issue that was rectified whilst you were reinstalling it. If it happens again, try typing the IP address (66.102.9.147) of google instead of www.google.co.uk into the address bar. If it works, you have a DNS problem.
