Default Google? Where'd it go?

Um ... this might seem odd. I know it makes me feel pretty dumb, since I'm normally OK at troubleshooting this, & I can't find ANY news blurbs about it ... but ...

I haven't been able to access google.com for about 3 days. From 3 different computers (all the same network, tho).

How do you find out what happens on to a search engine? You can't check the news blurbs on another search engine necessarily.

I can't find anything that indicates that Google isn't functioning, but I simply can't get to it. I can't ping it, altho it DOES resolve to the IP address (or AN ip address ... can't verify its the RIGHT one, I suppose.)

What gives? Anyone?

No one thinks you're foolish, most likely what happened is a problem at the Google servers. They may even have been updating. Most likely the problem had nothing to do with your PC, k?
