massive DNS or connectivity problem May 26?
Not sure what is up but starting around 3:45 a.m. this morning, most but not all of the pages I tried to access at different sites came back with errors.
The best example was when I typed in:
www.google.com
In one case, I got back an error message from my web brower (Firefox 2.0.0.14) saying it could not connect to the site.
In the other case, I got back an error page from Verizon (my ISP at the moment) sadly informing me there was no such site and offering helpful (?) advice about what I might have meant to say.
Here is the URL. As you can see, www.google.com is indeed what I typed in and what it indeed thought did not exist.
http://wwwz.websearch.verizon.net/search?qo=www.google.com&rn=eLg2xDr0Wmy5PnK
Had problems getting to other sites as well. The problem seemed to clear up after a few minutes.
It was kind of uncanny. I wonder if something really big went wrong for a few minutes on the Internet.
It is 4 a.m. now and the problem(s) seem to have gone away.
