Update

Early in the week, I could not load all the info on the Fidelity Web site. If I went there for research on a stock, I could not get the PDF listings for "Independent Analyst Research". I even called Fidelity and had an argument with them over they saw the reports and I didn't even though we were looking at the same web page!

Something must not load correctly via dsl...

Here are the reports that I see with dialup but not DSL via this link: personal300.fidelity.com

Argus Company Report Argus Research Jun 29, 2001
Market Guide ProVestor Plus Report Market Guide Jun 28, 2001
Lehman Brothers Global Morning Meeting Flash Lehman Brothers Jun 27, 2001
S&P Stock Report Standard & Poor's Jun 23, 2001
First Call Earnings Valuation Report First Call

Today, it was doing the same so I shut off the DSL and turned on dialup and those report links loaded!
so strange!

Since you are getting server down or not responding messages you probably have a routing problem between you and the sites you are trying to reach. This happens with my cable connection sometimes and there's nothing you can do about it. Try running a traceroute or ping to those sites to see if you can identify the bottleneck. It could be a problem with your dsl provider leaving their hub.

Use a ms-dos prompt and make it look like this.

C:\WINDOWS>tracert iwindsurf.com

If you have stars in the columns three numbers listed for the hops it's their problem. It will probably clear up or you may have to call your provider and complain.

To ping for packet loss substitute "ping" (without quotes) for the tracert above.
