I couldn't hit GMail for most of the day today. I thought there was an outage over at GMail. My wife mentioned that she was unable to hit Yahoo and other websites as well so I stopped blaming Google and started wondering what was going on. I logged into my webserver that is colocated in Ohio and did a wget on gmail.com. It returned a full page so I knew Gmail was online I just couldn't get to it. I resolved the issue temporarily by VPN'ing to my work's network.
If Comcast doesn't have it resolved tomorrow morning, I will have to give them a call.
*UPDATE* Apparently it isn't Comcast either. I gave them a call and they asked if I was behind a firewall. I have one of those linksys routers, so I popped out from behind the router and voila, I can connect to Gmail. Is there a new hack for Linksys routers that I don't know about?
