Default Google behaving badly

Anyone else having trouble with Google? It is seriously slow and links that it has found often fail to work at all. Bing is just fine!

I found out that the DNS client service had been disabled so I reset it to automatic and rebooted - google now behaving normally.
Still doesn't explain why Bing works OK and why a contact in a nearby town was having exactly the same problem!

must be the dust on the keyboard which is satire for:
Every situation is different even down to the wiring so we almost always end up with the generalization that
there's no silver bullet, or one sized solution that fits every (apparently) similar symptom -- there are just too many possibilities.

I've been working with someone what can't access anything in the Google Domain. I'm having her ping to see if it's getting through but being hijacked.

try nslookup google.com first; if it can't resolve, then it's the dns
