And McDar PR checker times out so it probably can't connect to Google also. Try to use not a google.com but IP - like http://64.233.161.104/, or 216.239.37.104, or 66.102.7.104 this way you should be able to overcome DNS malfunctioning.

I haven't updated any of my >Firewall/Anti-Virus software since I last had access to them. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- It's because Google had to correct the "problem" they had after sabotaging the *public* newsgroup "Groups" archives in the wake of their bitter defeat on November 2nd, 2004; after which their so-called "beta" kicked in and ruined the Groups archives for everyone accessing them through their local domain servers circa December 1, 2004. Ever since then, all local domain Groups have been obfuscated. Subsequently, us savvy google Groups users found that we could still access the pre-election uncensored archives through google's foreign-domain servers, e.g.: http://www.google.co.in/groups?selm=<message_id> http://www.google.co.uk/groups?selm=<message_id> http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=<message_id> http://www.google.co.in/advanced_group_search http://www.google.co.uk/advanced_group_search http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search Thus, google recently "corrected" their little oversight and disabled all foreign-domain access to the uncensored version of the archives just yesterday or the day before, i.e. on or about May 5th, 2005, to wit. That must've been what temporarily shut down the foreign dns's. But now it's "back up", as you say. Now, *all* google Groups are ruined. And now that google has completed their draconian liberal censorship of the public newsgroup archives, the archives are now effectively useless to anyone searching the Groups for actual, original, uncensored and untruncated messages. Google "Groups" is now effectively dead and buried, R.I.P. But because U.S. federal government maintains the complete archives, which are most likely subject to the Freedom of Information Act, it is then likely that some conservative freespeech-advocates out there across America and the free world will step forward and republish the archives on-line, leaving the poor-defeatist google liberals out in the cold. And the feds have all the "x-no-archived" messages, which could make searching messages that much more "interesting". Buy RED! Boycott BLUE! And SUPPORT The "Nuclear" Option!
