Re: Problem with one website only

Thank you again. It's good to know that the site can be reached by other
machines so that would seem to imply some kind of glitch at my end or at
least between my machine and the site. My TIF size is at 50 MB, as it has
been for a long time. I haven't installed any updates recently, I recall
the last about two weeks ago. I manually install all critical updates, if
applicable, from the Windows Update website as they become available. My
security software has been in place, and running nominally, for years now.
I have never had any kind of malware infection on my system.
As I write this reply, I am attempting to open the G4 homepage once again.
It has been stuck now for about ten minutes. I'll bet good money that this
problem will suddenly fix itself, just as it also suddenly appeared. At
this point, this is merely a nuisance. If this problem were to affect more
websites I would more concerned. Thank you for your help and the great
links.
