    Very strange problem with Google Accounts

    Hi,

    I just updated to the 11.04 release. After update I have had a problem logging in to Google accounts. The problem isn't with my account/password or any such thing as it works fine on Windows7 on the same PC.

    I haven't been able to understand the problem but the symptoms are:

    1. Cannot log in to google accounts using Firefox or Chrome. I reach the page to enter user and pass but after clicking the sign in button just nothing. The status says "waiting for accounts.google.com". Then nothing happens and after some time I get a blank screen.

    2. I can sometimes log into my google account using chromium but that is also iffy and today that has also not worked.

    3. On firefox I can reach the sign in page only once for each cycle of refreshing the cache and cookies.

    hi,

    i have been fiddling with this issue but haven't yet solved it.

    the problem seems to be with my wireless router. its a belkin N150 router.

    Everything works fine with a mobile broadband and on other wireless networks. I checked these and found that they used a linksys router.

    I have just bought this router and don't want to throw it away because of this one issue and need help in finding a workaround.

    Exact same problem here. I've tried different dns settings (google (8.8.8.8 & 8.8.4.4) & verizon (4.2.2.2 & 4.2.2.1)), I've tried clearing cache and cookies - no luck.
