I am really "dof" when it gets to computors. But it seems that the professionals are not much better.

Since last week my softness cannot access her gmail account, I can't google, nor does google earth work, all from my home laptop. Every other site and e-mail is working.

PC Pro shop said it is Vodacom's problem. Vodacom convinced me that they are not the culprit.

What would block every Google related access on my laptop, but not on my office PC ? Tried my 3G dongle on another laptop and no problem. Why blocked on my home laptop ?

Really thankfull for any advice.

Hi there,

Try resetting your Browser settings to default. It might be a security setting that blocks certain pages.

The bigger the problem.... the bigger the hammer! :wink:

Wish I could help Roel, but I'm even "doffer" when it comes to PC's! :lol: Hope you get it sorted, sounds like a frustrating problem that.
