Google don't block or bar your IP so it's not them.

No problems here (XP & Firefox)

However I have had periods in the past with Gmail where I haven't been able to access certain accounts and thought the same as you but it soon passed.

Check the HOSTS file.

Are you using XP? Try ipconfig /flushdns from the "Run" option and see if that helps any.

Could be from an infection such as the qhosts trojan.

Ok I finally got it, For some reason I had corrupted cookies from google or somthing similar, they wouldnt delete with the delete cookies tool on Internet explorer. So I found where they were in my directory and deleted them manualy so im all set to go, thanks for all the help/ suggestions.
