    You are right and I checked it. You are correct that whois proved more
    informative than reverse DNS lookup, and the address in question is owned
    by google. What I found next might be of general interest.

    It appears that where I am, DNS for google.com resolves to 216.239.39.99,
    both from my ISP's DNS servers and from GOOGLE's (and consistently). So
    when my browser sends a get to 216.239.39.99, and the firewall sees an ACK
    from 72.14.207.104, perhaps the firewall is doing exactly what it is
    supposed to do by LOGging and DROPping that ACK packet. When I put
    "216.239.39.99" into the location bar everything works beautifully. But
    when I put in "google.com" it times out, and I get hits from 72.14.207.104.

    As an additional factor, I'm still receiving unsolicited traffic from
    72.14.207.104 at random times even when I am not attempting to connect to
    google.

    I'll look into this some more, and very much appreciate your quick (<15
    minutes) and knowledgeable help. I think I'm beginning to feel better
    now. Thanks again.
