-----------------------

The connection has timed out

The server at www gmail com is taking too long to respond.

* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.

* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.

* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.

Default BSNL -not able to access gmail

Hi,

Yes it is also one of the common problem of BSNL Broadband. All you need to do is that switch off the power of your modem then again switch on the modem. In this way, the problem can be resolved.


Regards,
Ashraf Imran

try to edit the host file.

Click start>run

C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc

Erase all the lines after the 127.0.0.1 local host and save the file.
