Problems accessing Gmail

are you using the pay version of PDANet?

Here is your problem. You are using the free version of PDANet (or your trial period expired). The free version blocks all https:// connections (Only http://). "How do you fix this?" Use a different tethering program. Download the paid version of EasyTether for FREE by getting on your hero and going to blackdroid.net and clicking on the "E" on their website. Scroll down to EasyTether and download it, install it, and go through the easy 3 step process. This has been the BEST tethering program for the Hero that I have seen so far. I have tried PDANet, Tether, Proxiod, and EasyTether. EasyTether BLOWING the rest out of the competition :D

I've got it fixed now...thanks to all for your support.  T
