Yes, we have something in common---CenturyLink!

I disabled my virus software early in my investigation of the problem--no effect. I released and renewed my ipconfig and flushed my DNS---so don't take that as an excuse either. I suspect that some switch or router or server at CenturyLink has a corrupted file, causing inability to reach certain websites, maybe those with similar IP or MAC clone addresses, but their infrastructure is beyond my expertise.
