I want to thank you and all the others who posted me regarding my trouble connecting to SI. I have traced the problem to my proxy server software - Winproxy. Being the type that believes in having backups for my backups, I'll use my backup proxy software Proxy Plus to connect to SI while I try to figure out why flushing the Winproxy cache doesn't solve the problem. That leaves me with the task of "catching up" with SI. Have to get a shot of anti-venom<g>.
