I tried both IP address and FQDN (name) and couldn't get to either. I will try pinging debian.org, which resolves to 192.25.206.10 where I am now. (I can't get a response from there from my work PC at the moment, but I think my university firewall may block all outside ping packets. Ping has worked from home until the new problem.)
