> Paul, what happens when you try to telnet to google's http port:

> $ telnet www.google.com 80

> If you get back something like

> Trying 64.233.161.99...
> Connected to www.google.com.
> Escape character is '^]'
>
> then you can try getting their index page directly:
>
> GET / HTTP/1.1
>
> (be sure to hit enter twice after the 1.1). If it doesn't connect or
> it hangs, though, that's where your problem is.
