WinXP Pro SP2 Desktop. All updates applied. Computer crashed when applying DST updates to Outlook 2003. Since then can’t access www.google.com except by ip address. This computer can access any other website by url. Identical computer in the same LAN can access google by url. Tracert from affected computer times out during the 6th hop. Tracert from other computer completes in 8 hops. I can put an entry in the hosts file and get to the website by url then but none of the links from a search then work. No Viruses or spyware on the pc. I have flushed dns, reset the tcp/ip stack, reinstalled the nic drivers, installed a different nic, done a repair install of XP. Problem repeats. Any ideas other than a complete reinstall.
