Anthony:

It happens on multipe PC's with different operating systems (2000, XP). There are no error messages - the page just hangs until it finally jumps to a "web page cannot be found" or whatever the standard message is. Yes there is a firewall but its configuration should not have any effect on posting here and I can bypass it and it still happens. I do not believe it is hardware on my end nor am I saying it is hardware on Daniels end. I am open to ideas.
