• Cannot Load Any Google Services in Any Browser
    4 replies, posted
For about a week now, when I try to load any Google service, I get the "The App in currently unreachable" error. The services I've tried unsuccessfully to connect to are: * Google search engine * Google Drive * GMail * Youtube I have already run a full scan with both Spybot and Avast! to make sure that there's no spyware or virus shenanigans going on. I've restarted my system multiple times, as well as flushed the DNS cache. In addition, I used CCleaner to perform a full scrub of my system files. None of these solutions yield any results. I have also restarted my router multiple times (it's a proprietary combined DSL/WiFi setup) without any effect. My girlfriend, connecting to the same home WiFi network, can access whatever she wants with no issues. I can surf the rest of the internet and play any video game just fine. It's only Google services that aren't loading. I have also tried accessing them in the latest versions of Firefox and Internet Explorer, to no avail. This has been going on for a few days now, and I'd like to know what the fuck's going on, if anyone can help. Screenshot of Speccy, if that helps at all: [IMG]http://imgur.com/eoCv75R.png[/IMG]

Updated DNS to use Google's DNS as follows: * IPv4: 8.8.8.8 primary and 8.8.4.4 alternate * IPv6: 2001:4860:4860::8888 primary and 2001:4860:4860::8844 alternate Google services are currently being pulled up correctly. I wonder if that was really it? I will test this over the next day and come back to mark this as resolved if all goes well. Thank you, Naelstrom.
[QUOTE=thirty9th;45178863]Google services are currently being pulled up correctly. I wonder if that was really it?[/QUOTE] I'm no expert on the subject but it might have been a DNS caching issue. Next time it happens you might try opening up command prompt and typing "ipconfig -flushdns" and seeing if that works before switching your DNS servers again. I've had a similar issue happen in the past and that worked.
