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
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.
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.
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
My gmail has been working fine all morning, but I am using ATT for my internet.
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.
I'll just wait an hour or two. If it doesn't work, I'll give someone else (not someone here) my password to log-in and forward all my new mail to me.
Thanks.
Have you tried it with Outlook or Thunderbird?

Thanks.
you have to log in and enable pop though she can not do that now
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.
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 ing 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.
Edit: Nevermind.

ok your right that would suck, i applogize
lol I wasnt sure why you wrote that
Gmail uses https make sure you don't have a port blocking app such as zone alarm, norton, etc. blocking https traffic.
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.lol I wasnt sure why you wrote that

You're going to be my for a loooong time!Agreed, and Ill make that SAME bet with you next year
