Why am I unable to connect with Google servers?

[AC Question]

trouble connecting with google servers

I have a new galaxy s4 & a new windows 8. 1 pc. Unable to sync calendars. When I try to add existing google acct in phone settings I consistently get a message that there is a problem connecting with google servers. Gone through all online fixes, but none of them make a difference.

Welcome to Android Central! It's helpful to know what online fixes you tried, so that we don't suggest something you know already.

Make sure the date and time on the phone are correct.
