<p>I cannot seem to connect to the google.com domain - <strong>AT ALL</strong> - using Mac OS X (10.5.8)</p> <p>I have tried Safari, Firefox, and Chrome, all of which refuse to connect to google.com, mail.google.com, OR gmail.com</p> <p>However, I know it is not my physical connection, because I can successfully log into Gmail from Linux Mint with Firefox and from Windows 7 with Firefox or Chrome.</p> <p>Both OS's were run as VMs on my Mac too, to make things more interesting...</p> <p>Any ideas on why this happens?</p>

<p>Try pinging the domain you're trying to reach. Open Terminal and type</p> <pre><code>ping www.google.com </code></pre> <p>Maybe that'll give you some info.</p> <p>Also check out your hosts file at /etc/hosts if there's nothing dodgy there.</p>

<p>It could also be a DNS issue on your OS X box if pinging the google.com domain fails. Try an IP address directly like (this is what google.com resolves to for me):</p> <pre>ping 208.69.34.231</pre> <p>If you get a response you know that you need to check your DNS settings. If your ISP's DNS servers are to blame you can use the excellent free servers at <a href="http://www.opendns.com/" rel="nofollow">OpenDNS</a>. </p>
