Your computer takes a name like www.google.com and looks up the IP address. It can't send any email or web traffic or anything else on the Internet without that IP address. A lot of the time, not being able to get to www.google.com is because that particular computer is not getting the IP address. So if www.ggogle.com is also 64.233.169.99, and you can get there with one but not the other, then we have isolated the problem. In that case, the Internet and your access to the Internet is working perfectly. All that is broken is looking up the IP. Hope this helps. -- John DeCarlo, My Views Are My Own ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
