Re: Google Timing Out



What does timing out mean?

Do you get an error message?

IE closes?

Your machine burst into flames?

Or what?

Hi All --

I am experiencing some strange behavior wherein www.google.com always
times out on my laptop. This occurs in both Firefox 2 and IE7. Some
Google sites (e.g., images.google.com, www.gmail.com) work fine
whereas others do not (e.g., news.google.com, www.google.com). I know
that the issue isn't with Google because if I use my laptop and
desktop side by side, I can access Google on the desktop and the
laptop times out.

I am a cautious computer user and in my 15 years of computer use have
never had a virus, but this smells an awful lot like one. A full scan
with Symantec (latest definition files) doesn't turn up anything. I
looked at my HOSTS file and nothing seemed amiss. I can't find any
references to this problem anywhere on the Internet.
