Joe, Not sure if you meant that you can't connect by VTY at all, but if you can, then via a fresh VTY session, type:
# clear line con 0 Unless you've explicitly ACL'd yourself out of VTY or forgotten username/password, you should be able to connect to your switch assuming that it is successfully able to connect to google dns. As a side note, it's interesting that session doesn't drop on its own. I enter the same command from an IOS device--in my case, an autonomous AP--and after about 2 seconds google drops me and I return to the shell prompt: #connect 8.8.8.8 53 Trying 8.8.8.8, 53 ...

Currently don't have a VTY connection (long story) and I don't want to bounce the switch if I can avoid it. It seems to me there must be some DNS key combo or command to kill the session.
