I'm having a strange problem and I'm not sure why or how to fix it, and being a PC tech by trade I'm a little embarrassed.
I am unable to browse to google.com, I can if I use one of Google's IP's (e.g. 64.233.167.99) but when I attempt to browse by DNS I get no where. So I tried to ping google.com and instead of getting replies from one of googles many IP's, I get replies from my local host (127.0.0.1)
Now I have no persistent routes set up for google traffic, and it's not an issue in my hosts file, so I tried to repair the network connection (ipconfig/release, renew, flushdns, registerdns, arp -d *, nbtstat -R and -RR) still nothing. So I reset my winsocks ("netsh winsock reset" and "netsh int ip reset") and still no go, so I restore the PC to a couple days ago, but alas, ping google.com still goes to 127.0.0.1
Odd thing is I was browsing around on google all day today.
As far as I can tell, google is the only affected site.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
