    I can't connect to to gmail but google works. I use firefox and also it says I can't connect in IE. But google works and all the other computers can connect to gmail.

    if Gmail is on a different website you should see if it is blocked by hosts file as that is not browser specific:
    <<>>copy/paste the appropriate link into your IE/Fiewfox address bar:
    Windows XP = C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
    Windows 2K = C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC
    Win 98/ME = C:\WINDOWS
    <<>>double-click the file named HOSTS - no extenction(sp) - open in notpad if it asks - if it does not exist you're good on this front
    <<>>but if it is there, hold down CTRL and press F and search for google, if it's there, delete the whole line
    sry, that's the only thing I can think of ATM
