do you have any extensions installed and if so which ones. one recent update of gmail was causing a problem with logging onto websites the new version 0.5.2.1 fixed it but if your running an older one this maybe the problem.

Might be worth resetting the hosts file as well, particularly if the error page appears immediately rather than after a lengthy wait.
This little program resets the host file for you, and also applies a few other fixes to help problems such as this:

No guarantees, but it's definately worth a try
