Change Home Page

Say I want to use Google.com as my home page. I added it to the list of home pages in the Navigation section. However when I select it, it comes up URL Not found. I even created a Rich Display file program with a google link. WHen I click it, it's the same thing. I can ping www.google.com from an IBM I command line. Any Ideas?

The main https://www.google.com site has code on it that explicitly forbids people embedding it into another application.

You can work around this by setting the URL to https://www.google.com/search?igu=1 instead. For some reason, that page seems to "trick" Google into not doing its frame check. (However, I cannot promise that this will always work, Google could choose to block that as well if they wanted to.)

I don't understand why you did a PING. What that would tell you is that basic ICMP messages are working on your network. Were you thinking you had a network outage? Aside from that, its not clear what a PING would tell you.
