I've been following your thread a little, I'm sorry if what I'm about to suggest has already been tried.

Have you tried your modem plugged directly in your computer, thus bypassing the router?

Which ISP are you using? I think I saw Vif from your traceroute, do you know anyone else using Vif who may have the same problem? Couldn't it be a routing issue between Vif and Google?

Lastly, what happens if you add the proper Google IPs within your local hosts file?

Quoting [email protected]:


Hello Jared and all,

Ok, I have a brand new Ubuntu install with direct boot on my PC
machine. The webmail and Weather Canada sites load normally, as
does craigslist. Thankfully, Fastmail allows me to avoid
google-analytics while loading my mail folder, but, in any case,
Google does not load (also the home page for Ubuntu's Firefox
browser).

Ubuntu has a shipload of network apps. Which one would you like
me to download and run? I would like to test both the router and
the modem. I've rebooted both.

Thanks!
Sustain

My router log says "allow" for Google -
0|Fri, 27 Jan 2012 15:31:23 Source:192.168.0.2
ALLOW:www.google.com

I block "adfarm.mediaplex.com" with my router.

You tried it on a number of platforms, unless it's IE 6, I doubt
that's the issue. As with most issues it's mostly likely
something simple. As you mentioned you tried it on multiple hosts
so I would assume clearing your cookies may not help.



What is sitting between those hosts and your internet connection?
Are you using some sort of router/firewall? Is there any proxy?
If it's one of these linksys deals have you tried rebooting it?
Do you have access to tcp traceroute installed?



Regards,



Jared Brick

Thanks to Leslie and all who kindly contributed to a possible
solution.

I also suspect Google for changing their system and/or OS
requirements. Before, a warning message would appear in Gmail
that "your browser doesn't allow all features to work" etc.

Why do I say this?
