Very strange problems accessing search engines

E

Weird a$$ problem. The other day I could not connect to anything (browser or
email) so I called
up comcast. They had me change to "Obtain DNS server address automatically"
rather than the 'use the follow DNS server addresses'. Btw this may not be
related but I think its their DNS servers are messed up.

Anyway if I try to go to www.google.com or altavista.com it comes back with
'the page cannot be
displayed'. If I try lycos or altavista I get a page which reads 'there is
no website configured at this address'. That page is owned by
http://www.cpanel.net/

Any other type of website such as boston.com, cnn.com, etc works fine. It
just seems to hate search engines. Comcast suggests that I contact Microsoft
on this matter. I checked for viruses and didn't see any.

One other thing, I tried SlimBrowser and have the exact same results. And I
forgot to mention yahoo, if I goto yahoo that page is displayed but in IE
I'll hit the search button and nothing happens in SlimBrowser it appears to
be working but eventually times out with 'the page cannot be displayed'

btw I'm running win2000 IE 6.0.2800.1106 and cipher strength 128 all the
latest patches and releases

If I ping google.com I get 207.44.194.56 which as I said is the page owned
by cpanel. Can someone ping google and post the result to see if I can get
their directly

Thanks
