Thanks for your help.I have tried from 3 different computers and still can not connect. I dealt with my ISP for about 2 hours. He tried numerous things and could not clear the problem. He created a report through DOS and is sending it to the 'higher ups'. He indicated that it might be 24 to 48 hours before they find a solution. Will keep you posted since it may be of help to others in the future. I will try through friends/family who use a different IPS Also could not connect by going through the link on Legacy home page. It is after midnight here so best get to bed.Again thanks for the suggestions and have a Happy New Year.Regards,Fred

Most ISPs will never admit to a problem of their own doing but will silently fix the problem behind the scenes and then exclaim it must have cleared itself up. In the meanwhile, maybe you can try the URL from a friend’s computer preferably using a different ISP. For example, try the public library just to see if it works there. If your ISP has a local office, you might try a visit there and lots of time they have a public demo computer set up in their outer office. Try the URL from that computer and if it still no-workie from there, then show that to one of their techs. I once had my local Charter Communications office blocking access to Microsoft and I proved it on their public lobby computer. Which was quite embarrassing for them considering that one of the major investors in Charter Communications was Paul Allen of Microsoft.

Reboot your computer and try again. If still no-workie, try a different computer or else I suspect your ISP has inadvertently blocked access (usually to a wide range of URLs) via a misconfigured server script or configuration on their end.
