The key here is, I think: "Unable to connect to the remote server"

There could be any number of reasons why your application can't connect to the gmail smtp server. That could include firewall and network issues.

Where is your DNN installation hosted? You'll probably want to start with the folks who administer the system and have them start with the network connections.
