The problem was Venturi - Nowhere in the installation instructions were
there warning about your browser looking to use VZW Server when Venturi
is running. Here's a quote from Venturi's web site
<<As shown below in Figure 2, the Venturi Client intercepts a request
from your Web browser and passes it to a Venturi Server located in the
Verizon Wireless network. The Venturi server applies the most advanced
optimization technology available to the transmitted information and
then sends it to the Venturi Client, which decompresses the data and
passes it to your browser. >>
Apparently Venturi needs to be manually turned off if you're not
connected with your cell phone to VZW. If you use your regular
connection like DSL etc. Your browser won't work. It's supposed to be
automatic but it wasn't in my system.
I'll reinstall Venture and try it later but it looks as though that was
the problem.
