google.com down?

Connection timed out...

Is anyone else not able to reach google.com. Haven't been able to access it for the last minute or so.

Must be something local... I get this message:

While trying to retrieve the URL: [google.com...]

The following error was encountered:

* Connection to 64.233.167.104 Failed

The system returned:

(110) Connection timed out

But when I go to the ip directly-it loads fine?

Sorry for the alarmist headline. I feel like a newb.

no problems here. thank goodness, too. don't know how I'd get anything done without Googling every other thing that pops into my head :)

No problem here, either.

It was a weird one. For about 15 minutes I was only able to access google search by typing the IP directly in the address bar. The built in google search in FF and Safari timed out, as well as google.com. No other site affected that I noticed.

I'm not sure what caused it, but it's over now.
