Cannot sign in to my google account.

Hello everyone.
First off I would like to apologise if this is being posted in the wrong forum. I just registered and am fairly new here.
It's been almost 5 days now that I cannot sign in to my google account from my office laptop.
All I get is:

The connection has timed out
'The server at www.google.com is taking too long to respond.'

I can easily access my account from my phone, home PC, or any other PC at the office.
The problem is specific to my laptop.
The weird part is, that I can access all google sites (google.com, news.google.com etc...), but I just cannot sign in.
That happens to any browser I use (Firefox, IE8, Chrome), and whether I am logged in on the Network, or locally as Admin.
As soon as I click Sign In from any of their sites or my Google toolbar, I get the timeout error
Am really stumped, and so is our IT guy...
Can anyone shed a light to what is happening?
Thanks.

Nevermind peeps, was able to finally locate the problem.
Had to do with a corrupt hosts file.
Thanks and sorry for wasting anyone's time (:
