google and gmail

alerlievay - am having identical problems. Have Netgear WPN824 router. Turned off encryption and all google related sites work fine. Not sure how what to do now...

Is Apple aware of this issue?

Not only Google but some of Apple's own pages, particlarly some of the store pages.

Will try the suggestions, but it would be good to see a definative answer posted here as soon as someone comes up with one.

Cheers,
David.

Hi
Having the exact same problems, right after I installed a software update. That was just a few days ago - but this problem seems to be around for months! Why is Apple not offering a bug-fix? Or at least a warning that this update causes your browser to hang everytime you use google...
I too have a Netgear router, did anyone else try the firmware update?

I was having this same problem. Here's what I did, and it seems to be fixed:

First, I made my wireless network open. Google sites finally load!

Second, I switched the password protection to be WEP/128-bit instead of WPA2. Now Google sites load in a secure network.

Hopefully this will work for other people having this problem.

Mine is suddenly working this morning, and I'm not sure what happened. Go figure.

Tried your suggestion with the wep key and it worked.. But my flatmate's computer (pc) on the same network had problems with it, so we switched back to wpa - and the google problems. Any other suggestion?

Hi
I wanted to point out this problem to mac support, but I can't find a contact adress. Does anyone know how to get in contact with these people?

This worked for me as well but sure would like to know why WPA suddenly stopped working. WEP also "seems" a lot faster... perhaps I am just imagining this though.

From one second to the next everything's working fine again! Didn't do anything... Talked to other user and the problem has vanished for them too. Seems like the problem was Google all the time?
But it's so lame that there never was an official statement by any party saying we're working on it or something....

OK - now the google analytics problem is back again. It was fine for a week or so (weird?) and now Safari and Firefox started hanging again on those pages.

Any suggestions (besides making my wireless network open)?

I'm having this problem and am using an Airport Express!

*** I wonder?

I just wanted to add myself to the list of people who have this problem who solved it. My quite new MBPro suddenly decided last week to give up on Google and Gmail.

I first tried the adding the DNSs supplied by OpenDNS dot com to my network prefs. That sorted out my issues with Google. However I still had problems with Gmail.

I rooted around with my wireless router. Like some of the other users here, mine is a NetGear one. I downloaded a firmware upgrade. It crashed on installation--which I thought would be a disaster--but when I restarted, gmail worked fine.

So I don't really know what the fix is, but tinkering with the router preferences seems to be the way forward.
