sorry for the laziness

 

[WolfgangCS]

haha ok......any other ideas out there?

 

[Hefemeister]

try to ping google via their ip address to see if your dns is messed up.

ping 209.85.135.104

do you have any firewalls running? have you tried with them turned off?

 

[WolfgangCS]

Ping by GoogleIP: successful

 

[WolfgangCS]

There are no other apps running, as close as possible to safe mode

OK we have a problem with your dns which basically means when you type google.com it can not resove it to it's actual ip address. Take a look at this article it should help you out. Let us know.

Fix your DNS problems

On a side note you should be able to open internet explorer and type in the actual ip of google instead of google.com and you should go to their webpage.

I can get google through their ip like you said but going from there was not possible. I also ran through the page and found my host file and added google to it, but am I supposed to add every ip or will they start adding automaticly?!

 

[WolfgangCS]

I did the flush as well...still no luck with moving forward through google or any other site

Thanks again!

try these commands from a command prompt.

ipconfig /flushdns

then do

net stop dnscache

then do

net start dnscache

also check your tcp/ip protocol to make sure you have obtain dns server address automatically set instead of using a preferred dns server.
