I am receiving this message on Google Talk- Connecting to Google Talk network has failed due to an expired authentication certificate. The common cause of this expired certificate is due to time differences between your computer and the Google Talk network. Please verify your computer's clock settings are correct and then press Retry. I've checked the settings and everything is fine. When I try to go to gmail or my blog, I get this notice on both IE & Firefox- Secure Connection Failed www.google.com uses an invalid security certificate. The certificate expired on 5/2/2009 12:02 PM. (Error code: sec_error_expired_certificate) * This could be a problem with the server's configuration, or it could be someone trying to impersonate the server. * If you have connected to this server successfully in the past, the error may be temporary, and you can try again later. Server down? Everyone having this problem?

Google talk sign in not open cnnection error

"This error most commonly appears when you have no connection to the internet.
If your internet connection is working, you may have an issue with your firewall or proxy server. First, make sure that your firewall is configured to Allow Google Talk; we've provided instructions for some of the more popular firewall applications below:
A proxy server requiring a proxy username and password could also cause this problem. To configure your proxy:
  1. Open Google Talk.
  2. Click Settings .
  3. Highlight Connection along the left side of the dialogue box.
  4. Select Use the following proxy .
  5. Check the box next to Proxy requires Authentication .
  6. Enter the proxy username and password.
  7. Click OK .
Finally, your network administrator may have disabled Google Talk on your network. If you continue to see this error, please contact your network administrator."

One of them will be not set right. Once that is corrected you google talk will work.

Connecting to network

[QUOTE]The exact error message should be:
"Windows was unable to find a certificate to log you
on to the network [SSID]"
Google shows 37 hits with this exact phrase.
This is caused by setting the encryption to WPA-RADIUS instead of
WPA-PSK on the client radio. Both the router and the client are
trying to find a RADIUS server with which to authenticate your system.
Switch the encryption to WPA-PSK (pre-shared key) on both ends and it
will work.[/quote]
