    Browsers cannot access google

    Hi there,

    This is identical to a problem member i_ono had in April. http://www.d-a-l.com/help/showthread.php?t=50869

    My web browsers cannot access google. I only use www.google.com and www.gmail.com, but I cannot get to either. I am using a public wireless network that is provided for free in my town. I have been in contact with my school's computing help desk, and they are stumped. Based on i_ono's problem, I have also run a HijackThis! scan, but it revealed nothing. I also ran a tracert command for www.google.com. This was my result.

    Tracing route to www.l.google.com [64.233.169.99]
    over a maximum of 30 hops:

    1 * * * Request timed out.
    2 * * * Request timed out.
    3 * * * Request timed out.
    4 * * * Request timed out.
    5 * * * Request timed out.
    6 * * * Request timed out.

    10 * * * Request timed out.

    16 * * * Request timed out.
    17 * * * Request timed out.
    18 * * * Request timed out.

    27 * * * Request timed out.
    28 * * * Request timed out.
    29 * * * Request timed out.
    30 * * * Request timed out.

    Trace complete.




    Then I tried tracert www.gmail.com and got something more interesting:



    C:\Documents and Settings\Kass>tracert www.gmail.com

    I would be MOST appreciative of and help. I am desperate to get google back.

    Thank you sincerely.
