why gmaps.GoogleMapsLayer() cannot be added as a layer to a map in intranet?

Hi all,
I am spending couple of days to add go GoogleMapsLayer to the map but I got exception on map.addLayer(new gmaps.GoogleMapsLayer({visible: false})).
Is there a restriction by Google when accessing the gmaps api through internal network?
Why the example in http://gmaps-utility-gis.googlecode.com/svn/tags/gmapslayer/1.0a/examples/gmapslayer.html
working fine, but when I save the html example to my computer on the internal network, the example doesn't work.

Thanks for any assistance
Regards,
Yarden

If you look at the source of that sample, the path to the google js file is relative

<script type="text/javascript" src="../src/gmapslayer_compiled.js">

you likely need to change that to a full path if you arent hosting that file
try changing it to

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://gmaps-utility-gis.googlecode.com/svn/tags/gmapslayer/1.0a/src/gmapslayer_compiled.js">

Note that Google don't allow the use of their maps on an intranet site without paying for a premier license.

http://code.google.com/apis/maps/terms.html says:

9.1.1 General Rules.

(b) Public Access (No Firewall). Your Maps API implementation must not (i) operate only behind a firewall; or (ii) only on an internal network (except during the development and testing phase); or (iii) in a closed community (for example, through invitation-only access).
