What error do you get?  If it is "generic error", can you check your DNS
entries - whether your GC is reachable by <hostname>?

Also, which version of connector are you using?  In current SVN head, we
have fixed an encoding bug, because of which, if you have subscribed to
a Shared calender/mailbox that has space/any-url-encoded characters, you
will have to delete and recreate your account and re-subscribe to the
Shared calendar/mailbox.

Yes, only if it is a bug and not been addressed - AFAIK, I haven't
received any complaints on it - so, far.

Anyway, thanks for poking us
