G'day Mike and All Another thing to check is that your institution doesn't use a network "proxy". This will prevent you from getting any Unicast bridges listed.
See http://www.accessgrid.org/node/1086 for some tips and tricks. Also - you might like to check out these documents too: http://www.accessgrid.org/node/1800 http://www.accessgrid.org/node/2566 Hope these help!

I haven't installed it recently, but from memory it will ask if it requires any firewalls to be opened. The APAG server https://vv3.ap-accessgrid.org:8000/Venues/default currently works fine for me via unicast using the APAG bridge. (Multicast currently isn't crossing the Tasman it seems.) If you check in Tools\Preferences\Bridging you should have the following two addresses listed in the Bridge Registries box. http://www.accessgrid.org/registry/peers.txt http://www.ap-accessgrid.org/registry/peers.txt In the list of bridges on the lower half of that window you should see about 15 bridges listed in ping order. If in doubt click on Purge Bridge Cache and wait for a couple of minutes until the egg timer completes and then Save. You should have a refreshed list. Many of the bridges won't work! However APAG and AccessGrid.org appear to be fine today. Auckland is usually reliable but has disappeared this afternoon. You may know all this....

OK good to know that.
