FWIW I've occasionally had trouble opening the Gmail site. I found it 
was  conflict with my firewall. Shut down the firewall temporarily and, 
voila', it works. Actually I've had all sorts of trouble that turned out to 
be firewall conflicts. I cannot ever open Adobe Photoshop with the firewall 
(EZ Armor) running. Again, shut down the firewall, start Photoshop then 
restart the firewall and everything is copacetic. If you're having problems 
you might look at the firewall.
