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.

Go to c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc folder and there you will find "hosts" file. edit that "hosts" file in notepad. delete if there is any entry with 127.0.0.1 google.com
Hope it will work.

greater often than no longer, you are going to warfare with cygwin in the experience that your awareness of linux instructions is sparse. in case you have have been given spare difficultcontinual area, why no longer twin boot and deploy SQUID besides as SOCK on a linux distribution? there's a lot greater documentation and in all probability a delightful dialogue board someplace to stroll you thru each and every step :)

This sounds very much like someone is playing games with your DNS.
If this were a Unix system, I'd grovel around a bit with nslookup or dig.
