Okay, an answer was finally forthcoming: UofT put up a general firewall and simply denied all external traffic, for security reasons. Wish they had said something about it. They have now whitelisted my IP addresses and they let traffic through again. Thanks! (I ran a few traceroute commands and managed to get to a machine on the UofT network but never any farther -- I suppose that should have clued me in. Now I know.) -- Peter King peter.king@utoronto.ca Department of Philosophy 170 St. George Street #521 The University of Toronto (416)-946-3170 ofc Toronto, ON M5R 2M8 CANADA http://individual.utoronto.ca/pking/ ========================================================================= GPG keyID 0x7587EC42 (2B14 A355 46BC 2A16 D0BC 36F5 1FE6 D32A 7587 EC42) gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 7587EC42
