It just seems like a massive boondoggle to me.

It also goes to a blank page when you try and 'use it'

Yes it just dies.

If he's trying from a client site, experience at a few places suggests the most likely cause was the newbie in the network support dept.

The other year I couldn't get on to Slashdot. Doing a traceroute, I discovered an ISP somewhere in the US (might have been Chicago?) had let five of its routers get into a forwarding cycle - the packets were just going round and round the loop in that datacentre until their TTL expired, when they were dropped

As a result, I couldn't get to any servers on the west coast of the US. It sorted itself out after a few minutes.

Don't know. Just started working magically. Suspect some DNS mischief.

No probs here...check DNS.

in command line type ipconfig /displaydns

If Google comes back with some weird ip addresses, try

ipconfig /flushdns

And try google again.
