Google Chrome Sync Problem

Anybody have any ideas why all of a sudden Google Chrome would give an error of "can't connect to server" on just one of two computers using it? No Windows update or virus program update on the computer it's not working on. Firewall isn't blocking it.

Ideas? Thanks.

First, is it every page that is getting this same error message?

Could be:
Not connected to the network. (WiFi or Wired)
WiFi antenna turned off.
DHCP IP address from router not getting assigned.
Bad default gateway address.
No DNS server being assigned or configured.
Bad HOSTS. file.
Virus.

Open a Command Prompt and type:
IPCONFIG /ALL

look for:
DHCP Enabled
Autoconfiguration Enabled
IPv4 Address
Subnet Mask
Lease Obtained
Lease Expired
Default Gateway
DHCP Server
DNS Servers
