The screen comes up, but there is nothing populated in it. All I get is a "Navigation to the webpage was canceled". Refreshing the page doesn't accomplish anything.
Suggestions?
Thanks, Scott

What screen? I assume you mean the authentication dialogue, not the configuration, which should work and remember your settings (Google Account, Client ID and Client Secret).
The authentication dialogue is just an Internet Explorer window opened by the Plugin. Make sure your Internet Explorer is working. Basically, if you can log into your Google Account with IE (manually), the plugin should work too.

Yes, the authentication dialogue. And that was the problem. I have a proxy to prevent IE8 from getting out to anything but the local intranet, and use Firefox as my main browser for internet access. I temporarily turned off the proxy and it worked. Now I have to figure out what exceptions I need to add to the proxy to get it to work.

Thinking about it, I don't know if the rest of the requests (actual sync and authorization) also honor IE proxy settings. Those requests go through the .NET libraries.
Please let me know if the Plugin works without exception rules after the one time authentication.

The IE should only be needed once for authentication. Unless you revoke access or lose your configuration, IE should never be needed again.
Otherwise all IE requests go to https://accounts.google.com
