Curious George: Google Why can't I access www.google.com or gmail? Why? Oh why? I'm on my university's wireless network and I've never had a problem before.

  • Destroyed. By the Empire.
  • I shall inform Lord Vader!
  • Google has been seriously wonky lately..ever since katrina
  • DAMN YOU BUSH!!
  • They're out burninating.
  • Oh well, s'back. *staples gmail to the internets*
  • I'm just happy they've added New Zealand to Googlemaps. I have a great aerial view of the inlaws' soon-to-be vineyard, but Christchurch is only very low-res thus far. Gmail was slow this morning, but over here it's been well-behaved.
  • Google is slowly becoming microsoft-esque. Hence, the lack of quality and reliability. Pretty soon they will start devouring babies!
  • According to the Gmail FAQ, for Internet Explorer, go to Tools => Internet Options => Delete all temporary files. This solved the error when it said "Loading...", but the white screen never changed. Good luck.
  • I forgot to say that there is a high chance that the temporary file folder is full, so that is one way to clear it. It's quick and easy to try, hope it works.
  • Don't use internet explorer!
  • I know, I know, but I'm using a work computer, no choice.
