The Internet is a big place. A network problem between downforeveryoneorjustme and MSN could mean DFEOJM can't reach MSN but you can. Additionally, most big online sites run multiple sites/clusters/etc. If the load balancer decides you're going to cluster XYZ and someone else goes to cluster JKL, and cluster XYZ is down but JKL is up, you can't get in but someone else can. I've also seen this cause more subtle differences. For example, at home, I sometimes get different Google search results vs at work. Both on Comcast, within 30 miles of each other. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
