How come my PC can't get to Gmail and google-groups??

To all !

Over this weekend (since last Friday), my computer can't access gmail.com and also groups.google.com ! No matter how I tried to access these two places, the browser will churn and churn, and then come back with an error.

I can access google.com without any problem tho.

I can also get into google.com.au and google.co.uk with ease.

At first I thought that it was gmail at fault. But today, when I return to my office, I can get into gmail without any problem. That means, it's my PC that is preventing me from accessing gmail.

Went back home, did a "ping job" - ping

-f -l 1500 - (also on and ) and ping returns the ip of 127.0.0.1 !!

127.0.0.1 supposed to be the virtual loopback interface of a computer system, that means, something is terribly wrong with my PC. So I scan it for virus / trojan but found NOTHING.

Dear all,

Can you please tell me what has gone wrong with my PC??

Please help !!

Thank you !!

PS. I can access all other sites. Only

and return error !
