Before giving suggestions please note the folowing

  • I have just reformatted and clean installed Windows Xp
  • The HOSTS file is clean with just the default
  • No spyware/virus involved, OS clean installed after reformat, and
    Kaspersky Internet Security before machine had access to the outside
    world.

Is it something with the ISP or what do you think ?

BTW Here's a nslookup to google.com and google.co.jp from this machine

It is now fixed.

I did an nslookup again, and by the differences from the previous one, it seems

that it was DNS Aliases related.
