Brian--
Thanks for the response. As luck would have it, I did install an number of
updates shortly before this internet connection bug appeared. Hard for me to
say whether that is or isn't a coincidence. Unfortunately I'm not
sophisitcated enough to recall which updates were installed. I'm quite sure
there is an installation log somewhere, but until now, there hasn't been a
need for me to going that far "under the hood." Guess I should count myself
as lucky in that respect.
Will keep my fingers crossed that some angel will spot this thread and be
able to help us connect the dots... could be this is a known issue --to
someone.
Cheers!
Rod
