Google/gmail

[Kori Ellis]

Is http://google.com (and thus, gmail) down for everyone?

Or is something wrong with my internet connection?

Thanks.

gmail.com

gmail is working un yuma

[peewee's lovechild]

It's working for me.

[ducks]

reset your router
clear your temp files

[Kori Ellis]

What the hell.. it hasn't been working for me for an hour. :pctoss It times out and says there's a server issue.

[Kori Ellis]

reset your router
clear your temp files

I already did that before I asked.

[ducks]

I thought you did you seem to be computer savvy

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Working for me.

[leemajors]

works for me too.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Are any other sites not working?

[Kori Ellis]

I knew I should have never started using gmail for work related stuff :pctoss

[CubanMustGo]

Working great from South Oklahoma ... may be a problem at your service provider.

[Kori Ellis]

No, everything else normal.

[Kori Ellis]

I'd imagine I have the same provider as many people here (TimeWarner/Roadrunner) that's why I asked here.

if you go to internet options and go to setup connection
reset up your internet connection
choice the manual connection
if that does not work then hit f5
if that does not work go to internet options again and go to connections and go to lan connection and check mark automatically detect settings
I read it is suppose to work better with that check and without it checked

[ducks]

I am using timewarner here in yuma

[midgetonadonkey]

I'm at the university and it's working fine.

[ducks]

the internet has 4 main backbones
one of the 4 maybe done giving kori the problem in texas

This is just me rambling here, but you might want to see if you can use a mail program and work through Gmail that way.

I use Thunderbird and can send/receive e-mails that way (plus it offers an offline backup of my e-mail).

But that's the weird thing... Kori lives less than five minutes from me and we're both on TWC.

[ducks]

I really like gmail
you can use a email client to read your email from there
and you can forward alot of email there
their spam program rocks to

and you can go to different internet connections using your email client with gmail and you do not need to change your smpt settings

[CubanMustGo]

As a workaround you could try accessing gmail through an anonymous proxy server such as

http://proxify.com/

If the problem's somewhere in the TW cloud, this might let you get around it temporarily.

weird



using xp or vista you could do a system restore and take it back in time to yesterday
You are not suppose to lose any data

yes it works good
thnderbird rocks :smokin

[tlongII]

It's working here in Portland, Oregon.

Unless something has gotten into your machine and done something like put a bogus entry in the hosts file for google.com; you might want to try doing this"

Start -> Run -> Cmd (brings up a DOS prompt) -> ping google.com

response should be something like

"Pinging google.com [64.233.187.xxx]"

if the IP address is substantially different (doesn't begin with 64) then something may have hacked into your machine

[Kori Ellis]

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll wait it out and see what happens. I'm guessing it might fix itself soon.

This has happened before but with WOAI.com. Sometimes, I can't access that site (and only that site) for 3 or 4 days at a time. But I can't really live without google, so this crap better clear up soon.

[ATRAIN]

:lmao at Gmail pwning Kori

Yeah, it will be really funny if I lose a huge assignment over missing an email today and lose a lot of money.

[ducks]

have you tried one of your other comptuters
I am sure you have
I guess you could also go to the univeristy or library if you got desperate enough
and you could forward your email to a differnet account

[Melmart1]

My gmail has been working fine all morning, but I am using ATT for my internet.

[Melmart1]

I did have an issue once with gmail and needed an email bad, so I used my cell phone, logged into gmail and forwarded it to a yahoo account I almost never use. Not sure why it worked on the cell phone and not my computer but an hour later both were working just fine.

[Kori Ellis]

I'll just wait an hour or two. If it doesn't work, I'll give someone else (not someone here :lol) my password to log-in and forward all my new mail to me.

Thanks.

Have you tried it with Outlook or Thunderbird?

[ducks]

you have to log in and enable pop though she can not do that now

[BeerIsGood!]

Does the Google homepage have a graphic of Pavarotti as the "l"? Is that what that is supposed to be?

Totally off topic, but ..

How sad is it that the only thing Rangers fans have to brag about is a meaningless regular season series "win" against a team that didn't make the postseason? It's even worse than Mav/Sun/Cav fan crowing about their regular season series performance against the Spurs. But when you're one of two teams in MLB to never win a playoff series of any kind, and the other hasn't been around for ten years, I guess you have to celebrate the smallest of accomplishments since there's nothing else to be happy about.

No, not particularly an Astros fan either, just amused that someone (not ATRAIN, I know) went to such great lengths to great a jpeg commemorating something so meaningless. $5 and that "championship" will get you a latte at Starbucks.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

It's been so long since I did it, I forgot about enabling it via the settings. D'oh.

And Beer, yeah, Pavarotti is on the Google homepage.

Considering it's a sig bet that Melmart won and got ATRAIN a special sig to commemorate, it's not so sad at all when you take into account Houston-Dallas trash talk.

That whole thing was done in jest, it wasn't any serious smack talk about who was better. Just comical banter and a sig bet.

It's a fucking joke. As baseball fans, ATRAIN and I both understand the futility and generall all-around suckiness of our teams and we are laughing at ourselves. What else are we supposed to do, cry? It's a joke.

[Melmart1]

Edit: Nevermind.

[ATRAIN]

ok your right that would suck, i applogize

[ATRAIN]

Edit: Nevermind.


lol I wasnt sure why you wrote that :)

[to21]

Gmail uses https make sure you don't have a port blocking app such as zone alarm, norton, etc. blocking https traffic.

[Melmart1]

I misread what he said. I thought he was implying something else entirely. Either way, I think its cool that two fans of sucky teams are still loyal and can laugh about it.

Agreed, and Ill make that SAME bet with you next year :).

Kori, I'm also on TWC-SA/RR. Past few days I've had weird problems where I can't get gmail to properly load through firefox (endless loops when I try to enter a password) but works fine in IE or IE-tab.

Working fine right now, however.

Thanks.

It is actually working now for me. :clap

[Shelly]

I've had that happen occasionally where gmail won't load and i get the "oops" pop-up.

I heart gmail...especially the chat feature built in!

[E20]

Now, if I were to ask this question or somebody else, the most this thread would get is maybe 2 responses, but since it's Kori it's gonna be at least 5 pages.

Suck ups. :td
