The connection has timed out

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

moments.

connection.

Hi sarathmay3

Welcome to India Broadband Forum
can i request you to use https://www.gmail.com please check and update

May be a DNS issue. Switch to Open DNS

I was having the same problem not so long ago, but seems to be ok now!

even i faced the same problem but for me https worked

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.

1. If you have IE7 or IE8 browser try it.
2.
What is the present version of Firefox / Latest 3.5.2.
install:
Addons suggested :
CoralIETAB and IE Lite

3. I am using Outlook Express to send/receive emails with abcd @ gmail.com

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.

this was a long time ago...thanks for all the feedback.
im on airtel now and its smooth sailing now (not coz of the prob i mentioned BSNL resolved itself)
thanks again
