I would have thought the restart
would have done it. like you even
when the browser can't connect,
pinging it still works fine for me
too which is why I ruled out dns. I
have a feeling you tried this but
have you tried clearing all of your
<a href="http://google.com" target="_blank">google.com</a>
cookies/cache? That also temporary
fixed the issue for me but I have
log back into anything google which
makes that a pain. <br>

My ISP is Cybermesa and they

never an issue before anyway.
I've tried disabling all add-ons
for Firefox and that doesn't
make a difference. A restart,
which would kill all instances
of all apps doesn't help.<br>
There are many "fixes" out

this issue is sad I am still
so happy to see someone else

searched everywhere and have
not been able to find anyone
else having this issue. Are
you using Chrome/Chromium? I
was using Chromium at first
but when the issue started I
switched to Chrome which did
also have the same problem.
I have not tried using
Firefox for an extended
amount of time to see if
that also has this. If I
kill all instances of
Chrome/Chromium it will
connect to google again but
after a few hours the issue
comes back where it will not
search/connect to <a href="http://google.com" target="_blank">google.com</a>.
You do have to make sure you
kill all instances of
chrome/chromium for that
temporary fix to work. On a
permanent fix I have no idea
at this point.<br>

all. Sorry to have missed

I'm running Ubuntu 16.04 on
an acer laptop. Until a few
weeks ago all things google
worked fine and it was my
primary search engine. It
started slowing down trying
to connect to <a href="http://google.com" target="_blank">google.com</a>,

get the idea. Eventually,
about 2 weeks ago it just
stopped connecting at all.
So:<br>
<br>
I checked every forum and
help page I could find. I
changed DNS servers to open
DNS, googleDNS, changed all
configuration files to
reflect those changes, many
command line instructions
and on and on. None of the
Solved marked issues solved
my problem even though the
symptoms were the same.<br>
I run 2 VMs, Ubuntu 16.10
and FreeBSD. Both of those
machines can use google as
normal. that seems weird to
me.<br>
I can load something like <a href="http://groups.google.com" target="_blank">groups.google.com</a>
and then chose apps like
gmail, drive, photos and
several others but not
calendar or maps (which is
what I really want). I can
use all those apps on the
VMs though. <br>
In 16.04 no browser loads
google. com<br>
I can ping <a href="http://google.com" target="_blank">google.com</a>
with no packet loss.<br>
I'm stumped.<br>
Help?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
<br>
Brian<br>
