My friend have a problem. The Gmail site (www.gmail.com) is not opening in Internet Explorer. I have installed latest version of Firefox and Opera to test, but the Gmail doesnot opens in Firefox and Opera as well. All other sites opens well in all of the 3 browsers.

I have disabled Windows Firewall, but even it did not helped.

Made new dial-up internet connection, but it did not helped

Could any one know the real problem or help me solving my frens problem.

There is no need to install Java!! To sign in go to *mail.google.com
It should work!!

The problem is not about Java, Internet Connections and all

Its about COOKIES, Both Opera and irefox decline some third party cookies, if not configured to accept them

Also check ur Internet Explorer cookie settings

Go to Internet Options -> Privacy -> sites

type in *mail.google.com/mail/

and select allow

this will solve ur problems
