Well, I'm now sure it is something really funky inside my computer, perhaps something funky with the jacked up client software UofL makes us use for hooking to their VPN, because the exact same problem happened again in Louisville with a different router. 1. Type 'vpn.louisville.edu' into the address bar. 2. Immediate, and I mean immediate, response that Safari cannot connect. 3. Only fix: rebooting the computer. (flushing caches, histories, rebooting modems and routers, etc. all to no avail) Seems too coincidental that this problem suddenly happened in two locations, while I could hook up to all other websites I could think of. I guess it is time to write to the IT dept. Bill
