I jumped the gun, that one is fixed. Somehow it thought it was looking for
a VPN connection. When I went into the Internet configuration and told it
to never dial up, The error message disappeared.
What got me on this search is another problem that just showed up. I use a
Ham Radio program called Echolink. Echolink is a Voip program that allows
me to connect to various repeaters and join in nets. It has worked on this
machine for over a year now including the recent upgrade. Suddenly it
stopped working on the wireless connection. It still works on the cell
phone. When I run the tests it tells me that the UDP ports are not blocked
but receive fails. This is a wireless network and I have ports 5198 and
5199 set to allow UDP in the router. My thinking now is that Verison DSL
has done something and I am researching that.
