Gmail is down with error 502

OK Guys, I got the dreaded 502 error on my Gmail account today- funny thing though, my Firefox app still kept delivering screen pops- so I knew all of Gmail was not down. I logged into a server that was 150 miles from my home location and what do you know? Gmail worked from there! So, it appears my home connection kept going out to a dead server. Solution? Simply run ipconfig /flushdns from a command prompt- worked for me! BTW, if you are running Vista, don’t forget to right click on the command prompt icon and choose “Run as Administrator” or you’ll get a message about elevated privileges required. Hope this helps.
