yada yada bla bla bla.

I've been trying for the last 2 days now, and i have not been able to log into gmail.
i type it into the browser
http://gmail.google.com

it lets me enter username and psswrd, i then press enter.
then it gives me that loading screen and it just sits there i've tried pressing Ctrl+R to grab new data but that won't work, i've tried using FireFox, IE, Opera, Mozilla, Netscape
and i get the same problem with each.
The computer is running XP Pro Sp2
it's fully updated no virii/spyware
{I mean i've done complete scans in SafeMode and nothing turned up}
have fiddled with setting's in all the above mentioned browsers and haven't had any luck.

i'm getting the same problem when i try with me debian and Phlak box's too.
is it just me or is anyone else having this prob.?
If not then what the heck am i not picking up on.
