Windows Vista Firewall

I have a problem that some internet sites gets blocked by the Windows
Firewall. This occurs randomly, pages like http://www.gmail.com will give the
error that the page cannot be found, but other sites work fine. When I turn
the firewall off... the sites work 100%.

What could this be?

That seems really hard to phathom...since by default the Windows Firewall is
only blocking inbound connections.

Are you manually setting up any outbound blocks?
What software is loaded on the system? Anything from a service provider?
