Problem accessing cetain websites - Mainly Gmail

Basically, I have a new internet connection with BT. I am having difficulty accessing pages such as gmail or google apps, even experts exchange, with my laptop.

This is a home connection and I don't have these problems when connecting at the office or when connected using mobile broadband.

Windows XP
Anti Virus  - Kaspersky
Windows Firewall
I diseabled eash of these but still no solution.

I found a solution and it now allows me to access gmail. Basically delete all cookies, history etc and it works, this is fine but then it will just stop working again after a while until i have to delete all the brower data again.

I have tried, internet explorer 7, Firefox anf Chrome, all have the same problem.

I have a PC and everything is working fine, when checking this on another Laptop, I have the same problem accessing mainly google services, apps gmail etc..

I have gone through most options and I am just looking to see what may be causing this. I have searched all around and not got a solution.

Some pointers to debug the problem..
(i) Scan the machine for viruses
(ii) Open the command and check whether you can able to ping the google websites.
(iii) Check the download and upload bandwidth on your machine.
(iv) Open the command prompt and type
      netstat -an                      Check anything suspicious there.
(v) Temporarily disable the firewall and check it.

Could be a delay or problem with DNS.

Like the person above said, open a dos prompt and try:

ping www.google.com
ping www.cnn.com
ping www.espn.com
ping www.msnbc.com

See if all 4 resolve to an IP and ping immediately.

The ping works for
Google but on CNN and MSNBC it timed out, I am able to view those sites in my browser though.

I have turned off the firwall and virus program but this didn't work.
The time out is ok since those sites don't reply to pings, as long as it resolved the name to an IP instantly.
Can you post the output of  the following command

netstat -a

Can you able to ping continuously to your default gateway ?

ping <gatewayip> -t

If above one is not continuous then you need to call your service provider.
Avatar of moyles

ASKER

Noe sure how to do this?
I had Similar problems once, and it was something with the provider.
In that case it is likely to go over - Could also be LAN or firewall.

I think OperaTor should work, for example
(http://www.portablefreeware.com/?id=980h), or if you have VPN or remote desktop access.
1. open command prompt
2. type the following command  ( in windows xp machine)
ipconfig
3. take the gateway address from the above output.
4  ping <gatewayip> -t

If you see the dropouts in the above output....then surely network problem. Contact your isp.

this is what I got, not sure how to spot drop offs?
It just kept on going so there is more code if needed

Downloaded Opera and tried this. Still can't access most pages within Google.

When in Internet explorer, I go and delete browser data, history cookies etc, it then works fine for a short while, then I get the problems starting again. I am logging into several different google accounts but this all works fine when at the office but not on this home connection.

ANy Help or Advice?
