Tried on a few different computers now, can't access gmail or yahoo email (I don't have yahoo, but can't even get to the login page). Interestingly, I CAN access hotmail... and remember UQ recently shifted all their email to MSN accounts??? I hate to sound like Faceman, but is this a consipiracy in the works?

Because I am totally IT-illiterate, is there are more rational explanation for why gmail/facebook/yahoo won't load, while the internet is still obviously running fine, and I can google things like "bikini babes"?

you could try this billy:

sign up for a google account;

login to

www.google.com/ig

add the gmail applet

access gmail, without accessing www.gmail.com which is usually what gets blocked;

note: you need a google account, not just a gmail account;

f*** I love you spooky.

Edit - I still love you, but the sign in page won't even load :( iGoogle loads fine, but I can't sign in :(

When I was at UQ you could only access personal email websites on certain computers, typically ones with longer access time.

If theres only a couple of things I prefer at Griffith over UQ, one is that I can access any website any time on any computer.

u mite have to setup the google account at home

I already have a google account. It's ok, everything seems to be working now. The best we can figure is that IT were mucking about and seeing if they can block specific computers - ppl on other levels didn't have a problem.

email sites like hotmail work fine at UQ. What building where you in?

it's a Corporate conspiracy @#$%

can't you just remote in to your home machine and do what you want?

...you still studying Billy?

........no he just hangs out at uni

Well... technically jmr is correct cause I'm not officially enrolled at the moment. It's a good excuse to take frequent, long coffee breaks.

But yes, I am still studying.
