This seems like a problem I had.
I could go to any site *except* www.google.com, and various other
search engines. I thought there was some sort of conspiracy going
on. :-)
This was with lynx-ssl and wget, i.e
"wget http://www.google.com/search?q=hipcrime";
If I tried "lynx http://www.google.com"; it would either just sit there
then time out or as per usual go to http://www.google.co.nz but then sit
there and time out. It also happened if I tried yahoo.com, altavista,
askjeeves. I couldn't search the net! Other sites were fine.
On the other machine running unstable, this problem didn't occur.
I was stumped.
I installed links, and eveything has been fine since.
Since this is a reasonably old laptop in the middle of being upgraded to
etch, I decided to wait and revisit it later. Although I think I prefer
links.
Thanks for bringing it up and hope you find a solution.
