That's a DNS problem most likely.

Go to a command prompt and type in the following commands (pressing "enter" after each)

Code: [Select]
ipconfig /flushdns
ipconfig /registerdns
See if it is working after that.   :wink:

My repair network will do the same thing for you if you like as well

A computer has to use a DNS server to get the IP of a name. That way it knows where to go. So it looks like the DNS entry stored for google on your system is messed up.

Try this, open a command window and try to ping google.com the DNS should come back with its IP.
