One webpage not loading, reboot router resolved

ATLANT3AN · 11-03-2009, 10:11 AM

Hello there, my first post :).

For the last 30 minutes I have been trying to figure out why google.com would not work at all on two seperate machines in my house but every other site loaded without problem. The site was stuck at loading. I cleared cache, restarted PC and then tried another PC which still resulted in the same issue. I could ping www.google.com and the tracert seemed fast. A reboot of the router resolved this issue so I am wondering was there a DNS problem on the router itself for only www.google.com which was cleared with a reboot? I thought it may of been my ISP for a while as google.com worked fine on iPhone and the likelyhood of a sustained outage is not very high with the almighty google redundancy setup.

I was a little unsure what would cause this, it has not happened before. Has it happened to anyone else?

Thanks for reading.

Hard to say, but if a restart of the router cured it, and it hasn't come back, I'd let sleeping dogs lie.
