Download and install CleanUp!

Open Cleanup! by double-clicking the icon on your desktop (or from the Start > All Programs menu).
Set the program up as follows:
Click "Options..."
Move the arrow down to "Custom CleanUp!"
Put a check next to the following (Make sure nothing else is checked!):
  • Empty Recycle Bins
  • Delete Cookies
  • Delete Prefetch files
  • Cleanup! All Users
Click OK
Press the CleanUp! button to start the program.

It may ask you to reboot at the end, click Yes.


Note: For 98 and ME users
Under Options put a check next to the following
  • Empty Recycle Bins
  • Delete Cookies
  • Cleanup! All Users
Click OK
Press the CleanUp! button to start the program.

It may ask you to reboot at the end, click Yes.

I had this problem. not so long back, This Problem occured because of My Firewall, blocking access to the site. Just Go to your Firewall and find then 'Trusted applications' tab, Click MSN MESSENGER and then under 'Trusted websites' enter your Gmail website. Apply and OK, Then Restart, This should help, But if Not Re-Post.

You can ping the site, meaning it's really a browser issue (i think).

I bet it's a browser setting.

Im not sure if you've perform the basic yet, but give it a try anyways.

# Click Start.
# Click on Control Panel.
# Double click on Internet Options.
# This should open the Internet Options Properties window.
# Click on the Advanced tab.
# At the bottom of the window their will be a Restore Defaults button.
# Click the Restore Defaults button.
# Click the OK button. All done!
# This should restore the Internet Explorer default settings.

this is just weird.

Are you using a host file to block some sites? (or any software w/c does the same thing)

You can access other secure sites tho, right?

Try pinging the other site you cant access.
The IP from GMAIL is Google, so let's try another one. (just to see if you can access the site thru DOS)
