Julie, I really do appreciate it, but i already tried that, and still nothing?!?!

well, i just wanted to add this, amybe it will help: i got so frustrated i tried to dl macstar, another client, and mactella. neither worked, but macstar actually gave me this (other than just "not connected"):
"TCP/IP Error: An error occured making a connection to the query server. Please make sure you have an active connection to the internet and try again."
I have an active connection (obviously)....argh!
