For some reason, I can’t access g-mail on my laptop, either through IE or Firefox. I’m not running into any other access problems for anywhere else on the web, just that one particular site.

It took awhile and a few support tickets to determine the issue. Their ISP was trying to access our website through a gateway that had gone kerput. Once their ISP’s servers had re-propogated, the issue cleared itself up. It took about 24 hours.

Figured Google was having some problems. It eventually sent it after about an hour.
Not sure if it is related but I thought I’d chime in.
Being logged in to iGoogle, which Google “helpfully” does for you automatically, causes problems with Gmail. The fix, as I mentioned a couple of posts back, is to
