ITMS connection

[Mike Fuller]

I've tried several times to connect to the iTunes music store, both  
from iTunes and the Oz Apple site, without success. I keep getting  
the alert requester "iTunes could not connect to the Music Store. The  
host is down."

I'm using iTunes 6.0.1 and Safari 2.0.2 on an iMac G5 with OS 10.4.3.  
I'm on ADSL through TPG. A friend, also on TPG, has no problem  
connecting with ITMS. I have no problem connecting with anything else  
on the net.

Any suggestions please?

Cheers,

Mike
