Thank you, Alan, for the links! My internet connection checked out at 5.40 mbps for download; no problem with my version of Flash and I'll keep all three links for future tests. Especially the ping test for both nFS and familysearch. If it were just my pc that has the problem from time to time I would be more concerned. But when the local FHC and other co-workers have the same problems during the same time period, I feel safe in thinking "they" are working on the site or some such thing. But these links will be most helpful when the situation recurs, as I'm certain it will. Now we can check it out and go on to other things while we wait. Thanks, again.
