i'm trying to work out a charming problem my laptop has developed in the last three days.
it won't let me onto any site that begins with google.anything. it lets me go to any site that begins anything.google.
so- maps and mail are ok, but reader and search are not. it took me a day to figure out THAT much.
the problem is uniform across browsers, but unique to that machine. i've cleared my caches and have a list of things i might try tomorrow, but if any of you have any ideas i'd appreciate it.
the poorly behaved machine in question is an oldish dell inpspiron running whatever version of windows came out just before vista. i do not recall having reconfigured anything or updating anything.
since a lot of you guys are smart 'n' everything, i thought i'd ask.
