Thank you so much. It really does help knowing a little bit more about how things are set up. I still was not able to sign in from my house, but i was able to on another house to zone out, then zone back in from my house.

I suppose it was just a random occurrence from a connection made that day that appeared to have continued on for some unknown reason... oh well!

It is good to hear that there doesn't appear to be a lingering uncontrolled problem just waiting to disconnect us from the game.

Thank you so much for your response :-)
