Re: can't acess gmail

We're not blocking Gmail.
What version of Internet Explorer are you using? It could be a problem with something like your Cipher strength or security settings. Do you have problems accessing other secure sites? e.g. can you log into your online banking or our Member Centre?
You may also want to try *temporarily* disabling any Internet security or anti-virus software you have running to see if that fixes the problem.
Failing that you could download, install and try accessing Gmail using a decent web browser like Firefox or Google Chrome  Wink

Re: can't acess gmail

Am using IE8. I have disabled my security program and that didn't work. Have also downloaded google chrome and no joy there.

Re: can't acess gmail

You could try resetting IE to the default settings to see if it makes any difference?
