It was a stroke of bad luck.  My DSL modem rebooted and when it came
back up, it had a different IP address.  I use ZoneEdit for DNS
services and have a cron job that updates my address every hour.  So
my DNS entry wasn't correct for about 50 minutes and you were being
refused by whatever system had my old address.  One of these days I'll
write a better script so I can update my address when it changes
instead of just doing it every hour whether or not it is needed.

Thanks for the answer.  You are correct.

Take care,

Drew
