issues with the laptop you're connected to, but

doubt it. Otherwise I have no other suggestions.

What I'm really curious to know is if he can ping one of the IP's of
google.?

ping 64.233.167.99
if that does not fail
typehttp://64.233.167.99intoa browser
let us know what happens..
I'm having a hard time believing it's in the laptop.. but who knows..

Thanks all for the ideas. I'm in Mexico right now, but will try these
solutions when I return to Vegas and let you know the outcome. Very
appreciative for all the info. Thanks again.- Hide quoted text -


Agree that you should check the hosts file.

I strongly suspect that google arrange to
resolve names differently depending on where
they think that your IP address is geographically
located.

In the UK I get:-

nslookup
www.google.com
Server: xxxx
Address: 10.x.x.x

Non-authoritative answer:
Name: www.l.google.com
Addresses: 66.102.9.147, 66.102.9.104, 66.102.9.99
Aliases: www.google.com

This offers a possible explanation for the
different behaviour in the two locations.
