I think it might be something with the internet options, but I have not changed any of the default settings. Whenever I type in www.google.com, it says the page cannot be displayed. I can do a google image search, but when I click on the "web" tab, it does the same thing. I also have a blog account that is part of google, and it does not allow me to sign into that either. I need to use this blog site for my internet research class at school. I have tried to change settings to fix this, but it still is not working. Any help would be nice to solve this.

I thank you for your responses, but I finally found a solution after searching on line for a while. It turns out that my internet browser is blocking it, and many other random sites. To fix the problem I had to go to My computer, then to your hard drive, then to the windows folder, system32 folder, drivers folder, etc folder, then open the hosts folder using note pad. The websites that appear cannot be opened accessed by your internet browser. Then you just delete the website from the folder, and then save the note pad document. Then you will be able to open the website you just deleted. Complicated solution, but that is what worked.

I have ATT Yahoo DSL and I don't have a problem with Google.
Are you having this problem at school? Ask you teacher for an explanation. Most schools block sites to protect you from unsuitable content and to stop you from spending your time at school blogging and e-mailing people.
If you are having this problem at home, do you or your parents have blocking software installed? Has Google been added to your browsers restricted sites? It your hosts file blocking Google? Look for a line in each with Google in it and delete it if you find it.
Also try entering the Google IP address in the address bar
