    When I click on my bookmark for boards it takes longer to load that other websites, I am using Opera when I click, the browser tells me "connecting using remote host www.google.com" Im wondering is this correct. When I was using Firefox before, boards always loaded quick enough but it loads slow in Firefox now aswell, do I need to change my host file or something.

    This is whar I get when I try to use the google search

    Unable to connect


    Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.google.com.


    * The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
    moments.

    * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
    connection.

    * If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
    that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.


    The same thing happens with yahoo search. But I can search with Altavista no problem and browse other websites ok. It still has me baffled.

    ^^ Looks like your pc/laptop has got infected with spyware/malware etc. If everything is clean then you are having DNS problem.
