John,
Thanks. That is why I typed out the URLs to make sure we were
talking about the same thing. Since Tom had referred to a numeric IP

talking about a numeric IP address. This is the first time I've been
exposed to a numeric IP address.

This should take you to google english. If you get anything else you
may have a virus/trojan that has taken over your PC.
I would switch over to opendns.com and follow their directions for
changing your DNS server.
