Re: question about link to NIH phone book/directory Elizabeth C. Lieberman 25 Jul 2007 11:30 EST
Dear Vicki, I can't use the link you provided to get to the directory. I get the following message (using Firefox 1.5.0 on a Windows XP computer): The connection has timed out The server at directory.nih.gov is taking too long to respond. * The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments. * If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection. * If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web. When I go from the NIH home page and click on Telephone and Service Directory (bottom of the page), I get to <http://teledirectory.nih.gov/>, which seems to have the same functionality as what you're looking for. Maybe the address has changed? Liz Research Administration Discussion List <xxxxxx@hrinet.org> on Wednesday, July 25, 2007 at 12:18 PM -0500 wrote: >Hi, everyone! I have a question for you.
