Thursday, October 12, 2006Speaking of Google...Here's a stumper for you techno-computer-geeko types: Google will not come up on my browser. I get "page not available" every time. My web capability is otherwise unaffected. I've been traveling hither and yon without any trouble. I just can't go to Google. Eric spent way too much time on the phone last night with a Comcast Phone-a-Geek. Nobody seems to know why we can't access Google. I mean...Google is my HOME PAGE. I am an avowed Googler! What have I done wrong? Eric can access Google from work. Readers of this blog are obviously accessing Google and finding me there. But I can't go there, and neither can anyone else in our household. My daughter each have a g-mail account. Things are not pretty around here when females are denied email access. It's a DNS problem, but that's as far as Eric's gotten. He's my Prince Geek, and if he's stumped, then I get really concerned. Yes, I'm concerned. And annoyed. And on the brink of spewing out all kinds of repressed venom against the Kingdom of Google. Want to be my hero? Solve this mystery! I don't know much longer we can hold out without Google access. |

4of my readers are feeling chatty:
DNS, not DSN: Domain Name Server
What sort of security does your home system have? Do you use a firewall? Firewall software? Those have the ability to block specific sites, and it is conceivable that Google was accidentally blocked.
There's my first shot in the dark.
BEEEEEYOOOONNNK! "Message for you sir!"
What operating system do you use? Are you Mac or Windows?
ACKCK!! That's not exactly something the spell-checker would find. Thank you Davido!
It's not a firewall problem. Now Eric thinks it might be our router. Like we really have $150 for a friggin new router right now!!
Well, it is fixed. Turns out to be my router. When I reset the router that problem went away, but then I could not get any internet.
Problem with that was that I no longer knew my userid and password for my router and it was 7 years old,
sooooo
Jill now has a Super G Netgear router, which isn't working yet on wireless. :)
WOO HOO!
Oh... DOH! on the wireless thing.
I recently got my little toys, I have a cheap switch, and a firewall a friend gave me.
They work, so its all good.
