Thanks. I didn't know that. I also hadn't noticed the different IP
address with the errors. As you can see, I was on Vongole, a dialup,
so there was plenty of other network activity to/from there...
No, I don't have any other indication of network trouble.
Not that there was much I could do other than ping, anyway.
