Donna, I had the same problem. It didn't give me an error message, it just wouldn't connect. After I rebooted, it suddenly worked. Either that, or I said the right magic word. Too bad I can't remember what the word was. I hope you are feeling better.

I honestly don't know why though, because I can't think of anything I altered recently which should have made that difference. Oh well, I guess it's just a continuation of the love/hate relationship I often have with my computer!! Thanks for asking anyway.
