Google -Can't get there

[Guest]

All of a sudden I can't get the Google home page to load. It just times out?
I had no problems accessing Google's search page before, but can no longer do
so. I have tried to type in the address myself, use the shortcut on my
desktop and switch tom it in the upper right forner of the page...nothing.
Just keeps trying to conect then times out. HELP!!

It may be temporary; give it a couple hours and try again.
Try closing/opening IE again.
Try Restarting the computer.

If none of that works then come back and detail it to get further
assistance.

Windows version?
Check for a file named HOSTS with no extension (not Hosts.sam). It may be a
hidden file. Open it with Notepad and remove any line referencing the site.
Or, rename HOSTS to OLDHOSTS

I've tried everything everyone has suggested, to NOAVAIL. I am not sure what you mean "detail"..all I can say is I cannot reach Google.com, it will not connect via IE7. Just times out and says "Page cannot be displayed"...
