In other words, does pinging www.youtube.com get you a google server name?  |

| | Well, I'm at a loss for what you can do, but you might try a repair install. It will leave your programs installed and all your files intact. You'd need to follow it closely though: Repair Install - created by Brink Or wait for others to reply |

| | I get the same response for both pings. With regards to a repair install, I don't think that's possible due to the fact that Windows 7 was pre-loaded when I bought the computer, so I son't have a disc. If there is no way for me to fix this problem, then thanks for the help anyways. It isn't too big of a deal, It's just something I would like fixed. |

I like this website for downloading Windows 7 SP1 OS DVDs: http://heidoc.net/joomla/technology-...download-links Do you have a HOST file with lots of entries or just the stock one? If you have more entries in your HOST file than the stock HOST file has, do any of them block google? For testing, you can rename the HOST file. |

| | If the above advice does not work for you then you can also try flushing out and resetting the network connections by following the instructions below... Open Notepad and copy/paste the entire contents of the codebox below into Notepad: Code: @Echo on pushd\windows\system32\drivers\etc attrib -h -s -r hosts echo 127.0.0.1 localhost>HOSTS attrib +r +h +s hosts popd ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew ipconfig /flushdns netsh winsock reset all netsh int ip reset all shutdown -r -t 1 del %0 Right click on reset.bat and select 'Run as Administrator'. Your computer will automatically reboot during the process. The batch file will auto delete itself once it has run. Please note - Any additional entries that you may have added to the host file will need re-entering. |
