Motorola backflip? how do i set up my gmail on it?

[lalalam]

I can't set up my calendar or go on my android market because I have to sign in to my gmail account. I have a gmail account and tried it on my phone millions of times but it keeps on saying that there's a network problem. So I can't use my calendar or go on my market to buy or download stuff. How do I make it work?
