You mean the hosts file?!
that sounds about right - weres it located??

Windows or *nix?
Windows NT/2000/XP: should be, IIRC, under <winnt>/system32/drivers/etc/
*nix: usually /etc directory
MsMittens is correct. Once you open the file scroll down and delete all lines with google in them. Because, you may have google.uk, google.ru, google.net and so on so you simply delete the line and save the page.

ohh but where is it/whats the filename on 98se?? does it still exsist?
in win9x, it is located in
c:\windows\hosts
c:\windows\lmhosts
EDIT:
I was wrong about the other info.. see msmittens post below.
Thanks for correcting me!
lmhosts is for Netbios to IP addressing (used with WINS server)
hosts is for DNS to IP addressing (used with DNS server)
They are not the same. If this is for DNS (Internet addresses), then use hosts. If it's for NetBIOS (lan), use lmhosts.
thanks guys - appriciated
soz MsMittens need to spread them round before can give you again so think was leaving you out ;)
yu'll just have to accept my thanks here ;)
