Thank you for your reply.
I had already done most of what you have suggested to no
avail. I'll have to take a look at the firewall settings
to see if I can reduce them at all while keeping the
system secure.
It's funny you mention the update perhaps causing an
issue because things were working fine and then all or a
sudden . . . I was thinking perhaps due to an update.

If anyone else has any other feedback, I'd love to hear
it.
