I think we had two problems.  There was the connection problem.  
That I confirmed last night.  For now, that looks to have been fixed 
since I can use the Internet with no problem.

The other thing is my server ran out of disk space or was nearly out 
of disk space.  This seems to have caused MySQL to build up some 
errors that once the connection problem resolved itself, caused the 
site to work slowly.

But after running the repair utility, things look normal again.  
MySQL is robust enough that I doubt any data was lost or corrupted.  
But the internal data structures MySQL uses were corrupt enough they 
needed to be repaired.

I'll have the site up in about 10 minutes.
