Well, the problem being a Parallels issue is just a wild theory of mine, it could well be something else. Honstly I don't recall updating anything in that area. As Mr. Gomez suggested I tried to ping - worked telnet - did not work (infact I couldn't telnet anywhere) tracert - worked from my windows 10 box (didn't bother to check on my Mac as I have noc issues there). Still curious as to why the server would say "Connection reset by peer". Thanks, Max
