RSSConnection Refused to GoogleAdServices

I can’t figure out what’s wrong with this. “Connection was refused when attempting to contact www.googleadservices.com”
Nevermind… I’ve found the problem:
C:\Documents and Settings\Elliot>tracert googleadservices.com
Tracing route to googleadservices.com [127.0.0.1]
over a maximum of 30 hops:1 <1 ms <1 ms <1 ms localhost [127.0.0.1]
Trace complete.
It’s blocked in my HOSTS file (C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc). I’ve commented the line containing the domain googleadservices.com, but now it says: “Unable to resolve target system name googleadservices.com.”

Edit the file C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\HOSTS (on my install of Windows XP Home). Delete all lines that contain googleadservices.
