Dear all,

Recently my PC acting up. It refused to let me accessing gmail.com and
groups.google.com

I can, however, access www.google.com without any problem.

To find out what happened, I did a "ping" job, on google, as well as
on yahoo, slashdot, kernel.org and microsoft.

For all the sites that I pinged, they returned normal IP address.
However, the result from www.google.com, www.google.com.au,
www.google.co.uk all returned the "127.0.0.1" result !!

I am guessing that perhaps this is the reason why I can't access
gmail, because gmail's full address is googlemail.1.google.com and if
google.com returns 127.0.0.1 (the internal address of all PC), my PC
of course can't locate googlemail.1.google.com !!

But how come when I input www.google.com or www.google.com.au or
www.google.co.uk the browser brings me to the right place ??

Can anyone here help me figure out what is wrong with my computer,
please?

Thank you all !

you got to be using windows right?
cause i never seen any linux system getting it's host file corrupted...

Unless deliberately

However your DNS server may have been deliberately hosed t prevent you accessing those sites.
