According to this page:
http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=13287
GMail does require SSL/TLS. 

 I'd be interested to see the relevant part of your vb.net code. Are you
sure that you are not doing something like the following - note the last
line!

Imports System.Net.Mail
...
Dim SMTPSender As New SmtpClient("smtp.gmail.com") ...
SMTPSender.EnableSsl = True
