Randy, you can just use the contact details on their page about it:

Ask them for the netflow or other source of proof. My understanding was they blocked on /32s not larger subnets which would indicate that the traffic is coming from your network, and not someone with a similar address, but you should be able to check once they give you the info.
Hope that helps a bit Lou
I've gotten a new IP by my ISP and the issue has gone away, but it was extra cost and inconvenience as I have to resetup my "non google" related services back up. I'm a developer, and one whos adept at removing malware, of which I broke my computer twice trying to find any existence of. Google has not responded yet from that contact form from when I submitted that originally. I've also found several places/fourms where people are having the same issue I was, hopefully it doesn't come back.

I've started to get some message today from google claiming that my computer or network was sending automated queries, and they are blocking me. I'm not sending automated queries, Ive logged all of my outbound traffic and there is only my browser traffic going to google.
I'm not responsible for any one else on "my network" since it is owned by my ISP, and solely blocking me based on what some one else with an ip address close to mine is not an acceptable practice to have for an address used for personal web browsing. I would like to know if there is any way to get into contact with google about this other then by legal means?
