toksik - Changed firewall recently? If there's something blocking outgoing ports the programs may not be able to connect. It's odd you can't to gmail, though, as that uses port 80 like every other web page, though it does have a few extra bits built in now, so maybe that's the issue.
Anyway, google talk uses port 5222, and you also need the SSL port open (which is port 443). In fact, if you can't get to secure pages (bank pages, the checkout of reputable websites) at all, then that could well be the problem.
To fix it, make sure it's not blocked in the firewall and that everything else is behaving normally (it can never hurt to run a virus/spyware scan, either). |
