I'm having this weird problem where only google.com and Google's subdomains are not opening. I'm using Chrome, though the same behaviour is prevalent in IE8.
Seems name resolution for google.com fails, as get an error message
Error 105 (net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED): The server could not be found
However I can ping google.com

This seems to be localized on my laptop & Google, since I can access other pages and Google on other systems just fine. I have cleared the DNS cache, reset my network settings - none of these have helped.
HOSTS file has an entry just for 127.0.0.1 localhost
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm using Windows XP.
1Did you ping google.com and let the name resolve itself or did you put in the ip address? – JNK – 2010-09-03T16:23:52.093
Also have you tried a different user on the same laptop? – JNK – 2010-09-03T16:27:59.900
@JNK: It was ping google.com. – Sathyajith Bhat – 2010-09-03T16:37:41.113

FWIW @JNK the only other user was the Admin user and I do not have the password to login to that account. – Sathyajith Bhat – 2010-09-03T16:44:51.147
