Why can't I connect to Gmail?
So, today I registered with Gmail. It took me about two weeks to do this because I had to do it from school. The reason? When I try to contact gmail.google.com from home, the site times out on me. It doesn't do this to me when I access the site from school. As I did both from my laptop, I'm concluding that it has to be my internet connection at home which is messed up. I'm using a wireless card connecting to a cable modem which is connected to my desktop. Any ideas why I can't get to Gmail from home and ways to fix it?

Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

Proxies are your friends. Contact your ISP to see what proxy they may offer (should be free, you just need to know what domain/IP to put in).

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Gmail's the only website that times out from your home?
