Gmail/Google???

oliegirl · 07-03-2005, 07:42 PM

I have not been able to access gmail or google all day? Is anyone else having this problem or know what is going on?

ice4277 · 07-03-2005, 07:44 PM

I can get into my gmail account with no problems.

bryce · 07-03-2005, 07:45 PM

No problems here, either.

I had trouble a couple times but have since been able to log in without any problems.

terpkristin · 07-03-2005, 07:49 PM

I'm accessing it through POP3 no problems. Google's been fine.

oliegirl · 07-03-2005, 07:55 PM

I rebooted and I still can't get into either site...I tried using my PDA also (with our wireless connection) and I can't open either page on there either. Any ideas???

Joe · 07-03-2005, 08:02 PM

I was having problems with AvantGo yesterday but I sync'd earlier today, maybe 2pm, and it worked.

SI

oliegirl · 07-04-2005, 09:14 AM

We are still having problems...radii checked it last night but couldn't figure out what is wrong, thinks it might be a provider problem b/c he managed to find the IP address for google and was able to connect using that, but not by typing in "google.com"...cnn.com, motleyfool.com, and others are also on the list of sites not working. Very Annoying!

jeff061 · 07-04-2005, 09:23 AM

Yeah that was what I was thinking. You can always go to your host file (C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) and add the name and ip addresses of the sites you can't get to.

Just remember to take them out when your provider fixes their DNS issues.

Franklinnoble · 07-04-2005, 12:05 PM

DNS issues. Call your ISP.

JSB · 07-04-2005, 05:19 PM

I had similar problems recently.
I fixed them by resetting the modem - duh - Not sure why but a weak connection for me always makes google inaccessible along with some other sites - like any EZboards

oliegirl · 07-04-2005, 06:40 PM

radii reset the modem yesterday and it didn't work...he was about to call our ISP when his cell battery died, so he'll use mine and call shortly - he doesn't know this yet, I'll let him finish dinner and then suggest it

I was going to run when the machines came out of the street

Luckily my battery didn't die and my car is still working, so I don't think we are being invaded by machine aliens from another planet

ice4277 · 07-04-2005, 06:45 PM

Its not the ones from another planet I'm worried about.

You could always change your DNS servers temporarily. RoadRunner name servers are at 24.30.200.3 and 24.30.201.3. AOL name servers are at 152.163.159.232 and 205.188.157.232.

I'm having no problems at all accessing your gmail account.

I find that hard to believe considering you don't know my gmail address...at least I hope you don't know my gmail address!!!

I just checked. I sent an email to your gmail account and then opened up your gmail account and checked. It was there. I then replied to it, opened up my gmail and the reply was there. I don't know why you're having so much trouble with accessing your account... Fritz just sent me an email from your gmail account too!

You really need to be more secure about there things...

Ok, seriously now. Have you tried accessing gmail from somewhere else? Call someone you trust and have them try it.

It's not accessing my account I am having trouble with, our computers aren't even bringing up the sign-in page. It tries and then gives an error that it timed out attempting to contact the page. We are having this problem with multiple sites, it has something to do with our ISP.

Radii · 07-04-2005, 08:17 PM

problem solved apparently. I had tried rebooting PC, recycling cable modem, recycling router, none had worked. So I get ready to go through the annoying pain in the ass of taking out the router and putting my PC directly to the modem(which seems to be generally a requirement before calling my ISP), but this time I plug the router back in one last time before I go through all of that and it works.

I hate computers.
