Yeah it's fine, try going to 74.125.127.106 (it's IP address), if that works then either your name resolution is borked or your ISP's DNS has a problem.

Yep, sounds like a DNS problem.
I've found it much more reliable using OpenDNS (208.67.222.222 & 208.67.220.220) than ISP provided DNS servers.

Also, Google themselves offer a public DNS.
IPv4:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
IPv6:
2001:4860:4860::8888
2001:4860:4860::8844
