Are you trying to log onto a google application or to something google related on the browser? If it's a google application such as gmail, gtalk, or the market, you might now have the google experience on that tablet.

Does the browser pull up pages?

It has the google search bar at the top of the screen & when I type in yahoo.com it comes up with Data connectivity problem try again later ?

1) if this is a zt-180 make sure your rom is flashed to at least 1020
2) if its not a zt-180 you may have firewall issues, you can check that if there is an ethernet connectiob

thanks hoben02 it is a zt-180 but i have no idear about a rom

Then you got the dongle allowing an ethernet connection
1) can you connect to the router using the dongle if not you have most likely firewall issues
2) check the build under settings-> about device -> firmware version
The end portion shows a date like 20101020 it should be at least that

You need to try opening the internet browser, not the google search widget. This may be causing problems. Also you must have the most current ROM available.

have you tried using the rj45 dongle to directly connect thru an ethernet cable to the internet if that doesn't work then its most likely a firewall issue.
