[P1] Browser Problems...

[patdart]

Okay, I've checked with the only other Mac user in town, and he can't 
get Google to come up and he's directed to another server than I 
am...and they say they can't ping me because my 'firewall' times them 
out...so where is it?  I could cut it off for them, couldn't I?

Where would I as a single user find the 'hosts' file?
