Can't get to Google

[rickels]

I can get onto the internet, but cannot go out to Google,
teoma or yahoo. Why can't I get to a search engine, but
I can get to the internet? I can get to MSN, but when I
try to search from there, I get "The page cannot be found"

Hello,
I beg your pardon but are you sure that you are online?

Maybe you are off line-and the msn page you see isteh the cached page.
Please check the "Working Offline" at the title bar.
If you are sure that you are online and cannot get to google or other
sites..may be you should check your security settings or cookies?

best regards,
Darth Vader
