gmail but no webpages

In our home office we have a homehub and just recently our gmail, ie web-based email, is working but we can't get onto any websites. This seems very strange as surely gmail is just another website.

Can anyone tell me why this should be and what I can do about it?

Thanks

Liz

    This could well be antivirus/firewall related.

    e.g. If av scans webpages but is not allowed connection, the site request goes to AV but is blocked by the firewall. Then you wouldn't get any web pages loading.

    Gmail works because it is HTTPS so the AV wont be scanning it.

    What AV/Firewall do you have?
