One problem with google searches is that you don't know how accurate the information you come up with is going to be. You're inevitably going to get a mixed bag of commercial sites offering information skewed to generate profit for themselves, sites and blogs of self-professed experts who aren't nearly as knowledgeable as they think they are, highly opinionated diatribes that only offer one point of view, technical sites that go way over the heads of gardening newbies, and yes, some sites that are complete, accurate, and helpful. While these sites are easy to tell apart if you already know what you're doing, it's easy to forget that a less experienced gardener isn't always going to be able to tell which information is accurate and which isn't. Even an extension office website isn't always what it's cracked up to be; the articles are only as impartial as the gardener who wrote them, and I have seen articles on these sites that were very opinionated (for example, I saw one recently that went on at length about the superiority of hybrid tomatoes, and suggested that attempting OP or heirloom varieties was never worth the effort). In a forum like this one, however, inaccurate information will rarely go uncorrected by other posters. Biased opinions are almost always going to be balanced with other points of view. If an answer is too technical, one can ask for, and will usually receive, clarification. Personally, when I have a question the first thing I do is search the forum archives to see if it's been asked before. Usually, I find the subject has been covered before, and I highly recommend that people take this approach. If it hasn't been, I go ahead and ask. I do google things sometimes, but I consider the forums -the- best, fairest, and most accurate source of information, not Google. Denna

I could write a book on dns to explain why they dont all work for you on neighboring computers but I cant spell too well, so anyhow... Anyways.. you might want to look in your Administrative tools(i think) for the 'Computer Management' tool. It's always a good idea to look quickly in the Event Logs... just for fun of seeing the errors ;) .. sometimes you'll see the problem and maybe even be able to follow the link to a fix. While in Computer Management / Under Services, look for DNS and make sure its set automatic and started. If not running and if it wont start, look at the dependencies tab,,, you will want the ip/sec service set to auto also. That should cover that. Then open a cmd window and type ipconfig /help and you can scroll up and see several things one might do. run the flush dns cache option in case cache is corrupted somehow, which some people do have problems with. ipconfig /flushdns ~all those google ip numbers and the google names do work for me, no problem. I dont use typical dns .. theres a program out there called TreeWalk that you might look into. I have found it makes things real snappy quick here for name resolution. It does your own dns cache so it seldom actually asks your isp or even your router for dns. And if a name doesnt resolve it quickly checks another dns server.

Google search problems anyone?
Q
Comments (16)
Yes. When using Firefox (the one I just updated to), if I type http://www.google.com I now get directed to igoogle...always. In my version of Firefox (3.6.17) it is no longer possible to get the the plain old, cleaner-looking Google.com homepage anymore. Raven, the links you sent did not help to remedy this. Even the mentioned http://www.google.com/ncr sends me to the same page, iGoogle (personalizable page). I guess that's how it has to be with this version of Firefox. On the other hand, IE still let's me go to http://www.google.com. Although I'm not a Mac user, I read a thread on a Mac forum that mentions this iGoogle redirect as far back as 2005.

I can see it in Firefox but not in IE...I think it depends on your browser and/or its settings.

You can also defrost by wiping your cursor around the page, fun.

Same as Suzique and Minnie, except for a few tiny grey spots.

Tried it in IE and didn't work at all.

Would somebody take a screen shot so we can see what we missed?

I tried this last night and thought, well that doesn't work! I see now - you have to wait a few seconds - for those of you that couldn't get it to work, go to google, type let it snow in the search bar and click enter - then watch on the top left of your screen, you should see a slight foggy sensation start to cover the words there. Just let it continue and your whole screen will eventually fill up with "snow". Once it's almost full the defrost button will appear at the top on the right side, just click that to remove the snow, or click your cursor and 'wipe' the snow away.
Now that I see how it works, it's pretty cute. I'll have to sneak up on a couple of co-workers tomorrow and type it in to their computer while they are away from there desks...

Pammyfay, yes the dots were moving down and I saw the defrost button so I thought it was done.

With further instructions I tried again and saw the page turning blue, then whitish.

Being Google I guess I was expecting something a little more exciting.
