Yes and I just did a restore. If you bing, is gmail down, you get a lot of info on april 20th gmail is down. After restore, reboot and a soft reboot of my huges net, nothing has changed.
The only thing I haven’t tried is a hard reboot of my huges net, which I hate to do, it takes a long time to come back up.
The only thing I can think of in your case is that there is some corrupt DNS/nameserver problem somewhere. If you need gmail you might need to reboot your hughesnet, especially after a registry change (I used to have hughesnet) but I am just guessing since I don’t know what your setup is and I don’t know what you’ve changed. It could also be something at hughesnet, but that is less likely.
So, your best bet is to do what you can which is to shut everything down, including hughesnet, and reboot everything from scratch. If that doesn’t work I’d call hughesnet (or get on their website) and see if they are having an issue with google. Hughesnet should also be able to talk you through flushing your DNS cache which might be necessary and takes several steps.
