If I type www.hotmail.com in the address bar, I get the 'server not found' page. This also happens with other pages typed into the address bar. I can, however, go to my favourites and they load just fine. When I type in the search bar, I get redirected to Google's FAIL page which give me this: =========================================== About this page Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot. Why did this happen? IP address: xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx '''(I hid those, obviously)''' Time: 2011-11-12T15:24:17Z URL: http://www.google.com/search?q=fetlife&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a =========================================== ...once I fill in a CAPTCHA, I am redirected to the same page again, repeat and it then gives me google.de I am not in Germany, I am in the UK. So to summarise, I cannot manually type in addresses or search using the search button. Even if I search using German google and click the link, it refuses some URLs.
