    I cleared my cache and tried loading it... I still cannot load google. I'm having no problems with other websites.

    Do you think they block IPs for any reason. I haven't been doing anything goofy but you never know.

    Works fine for me also, maybe your DNS settings are screwed up.

    You mean, on my router or with my ISP?

    I mean the file on your HD /etc/resolv.conf should have a nameserver added by DHCP, if you use DHCP from the router.

    If you're using Firefox, try typing about:config in the address bar. Scroll down to locate the network.dns.disableIPv6 setting and double-click on it to set it to true.

    There's no guarantee that this will work, but if it is a DNS issue I sympathise. That's a problem that can haunt you for a long time!

    It's working fine now... I didn't do anything to solve it because it was working off and on. I had this happen before with a beryl repo but that works fine now too.

    Oh well.

    thanks for the help guys.
