Both Google.com and all the local versions I have tried is down. -Also adsense (banners and login). I live in Denmark so this is not just one server, but the entire system.

gmail is down, too, isn’t it?
I can’t connect....

Gmail is dead as a doornail for me

Gmail was down for 5 minutes...

I don't think google ever goes down. So it must be on your end. Never question google

While google was down, I could still use it with this IP adress (didn't check others IP from google) :
http://216.239.59.104/

Supposibly it was a DNS error. Guess it's cleared up now.

Google was down here too! I’m living in France.
I’ve never see it down! It has something frightening in it ...

Updated the original post with a statement from Google.

[Google Down? – 'twas a dns problem]

at least when i couldnt access google, i could still access it by ip.
another dns server (another isp’s) gave me the ip and that worked. plus, google.co.il (google israel) did work. unless something happened later..
