Help Rooted G1 -Browser, etc. suddenly stopped working

[freckleface45]

I bought a used HTC Dream / T-Mobile G1 off of Craigslist a couple of months ago. This is my first smartphone, and the phone had already been rooted to CyanogenMod 6.1.0-DS.

I only access the web via my home WiFi. Suddenly my GApps stopped working (browser, Google voice search, Voice to Text, News & Weather). I get to the home screen but it just sits there endlessly trying to load the page. I have another browser app that doesn't work either.

However, some of my apps that need a connection DO partially work, such as Facebook, Tweetcaster (but some images & links don't work), Gmail, and Email, so it's not that I'm not able to connect.

It's odd that some apps work and some don't, but I don't know where the glitch is coming from or what the common denominator is. I already flashed my GApps.

Interestingly, I just went to Caribou to test if it was a WiFi problem, and everything worked just fine there! That tells me it must be a problem with my home router or WiFi settings somewhere, even though I haven't changed anything.

I already tried forgetting/logging back in to my home WiFi from my phone, but that didn't work.

Does anyone know what router settings might need adjusting?

UPDATE: Somehow I had Block Services selected in my router settings, and changing that seemed to do the trick.

I found a solution to my own problem! It seemed to be that the common denominator was that all the non-working apps were related to the factory/Google apps that came with the (Google based) phone (You must have a Gmail account to use the phone). It occurred to me that maybe somehow the phone lost its intrinsic connection to my Google account (even though my Gmail was still working?).

I didn't know how to reset this connection, so I decided to open another Google account to replace the "lost" one.

From my phone I was able to successfully add another Google account. Upon reboot, it started to go into a boot loop (uh oh), but then when it finally rebooted, it synched my account, and Voila! my browser, etc. are functional again. Yippee!

UPDATE: This only worked temporarily. See my above post relating to it probably being a router issue, as I can get it to work just fine while at Caribou.
