Hi Frank,
No, Firefox wants to load index.php from that link, just like the other LuLa links.
I doubt a virus is the problem. Both machines come up clean from a deep scan with Zone Alarm. Also, the desktop had been screwing up for about two days before I tried to laptop. I hadn't used the laptop for about a month before that, and the problem started about six days ago -- in the middle of the day.
I'm direct to the forum.
Yes, I need to get the laptop to an outside wifi connection and see if it makes any difference. The problem could be in my "modem." On the other hand there's the fact that when I did a chat with CenturyLink in Salt Lake City the gal I was talking to went to LuLa with one of their machines, on a non-CenturyLink connection and got the same problem I've been having.
It's a serious head-scratcher.
