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
