So I was up in Vail working through a breakout session (with a mild hangover from
the night before) when my dad calls.
"I can't get to Google. I can get to a bunch of other sites, but I can't seem to get
to Google? Did you mess up my networking?"
He asked this last bit because when he was at my house I had to tweak his wireless
to get him on my network. But I didn't do anything other that add a SSID and WEP-key
to his wireless config, and since he could get to some sites but not others, it couldn't
be that.
So we went 'round and 'round and finally I had to go back to my meeting. Later in
the day he found a post by someone telling him to delete the hosts file in C:\Windows\Help.
This solved his problem.
