I HAVE MOVED THIS FROM 'GENERAL' TO 'BUGS'. PLEASE DO NOT REPLY HERE
Hi All,
I have six PCs running XP Pro in my two homes. This problem affects all of them. I am using Gbidge to keep the two sets synched so that when I switch houses everything is ready to go.
Each house has a 'server' PC connected to the internet using a MODEM in half-bridge mode (no NAT) The 'server' runs the XP firewall and ICS to the two 'workstations' for my wife and I. We are using a workgroup.
Every PC has an 'issue' with Gbridge login. Often the application logs on to my (dedicated) Gmail account in in a few seconds. But other times it goes round and round the Gmail servers, tries ports 80 and 443 unsuccessfully and then starts again . Eventually - perhaps after 15 to 20 minutes of this - it will log on.
As a work around, I can exit and restart Gbridge on the local PCs until I get a good one - but the other three are 1000 miles away and must restart after power failure without anyone present; so this matters to me.
I'm at a loss because obviously it's not a ports issue nor an internet access problem as surfing and email are fine. Also, once logged in everything is fine and I'm extremely pleased with it.
Any ideas? Thanks.
More Info.
I can connect to:

I can not connect to:

I lost patience after this.
