ummm...a little more research points to a problem on the university site. http://support.pinehurst.net/netscape/network_error.html "Why do I get "Network Error: Connection Reset By Peer?" --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Question: When I try to download something from a particular site, I receive a message that the connection was reset by peer. How do I resolve this? Answer: A connection reset by peer message means that the site you are connected to has reset the connection. This is usually caused by a high amount of traffic on the site, but may be caused by a server error as well. You will need to contact the site administrator or webmaster and inform them of this error message if it persists. Usually waiting a short amount of time and trying to access that site again is all it takes to get through to it.
