Thanks for the replies! I am trying to connect to the Library of Congress, UB Basel, U of Zurich (the profiles are preinstalled in BibDesk) and to GBV [Gemensamer Bibliotheksverbund] (I have created the profile for it). These services do not have any access restrictions. (GBV has a user name and password, which is published on the web). And yes, I do have a VPN connection to the University network when I am at home. However, the result is the same I have described in the first mail: I can use all those services from my office, I can use *none* [!] of them from home. I am on the same computer and of course I do not change any porfiles when I come home. This is the strangest fact about this problem...
