Is it in the system somewhere, or is it me?

I have Mudcat in my list of "Favorites" (Internet Explorer), and usually all I have to do is click on Favorites, scroll to Mudcat Café (http://www.mudcat.org/) and click, wait for a few seconds and I'm there. For the last couple of days, when I do that, I come up with the dreaded Error screen --

followed by "Please try the following:" -- none of which helps much.

Or

Error Occurred While Processing Request
(then, in a box)

Error Diagnostic Information

WaitNamedPipe returned FALSE.

Windows NT error number 121 occurred.

This happens from time to time, and when it does usually I assume that Mudcat is down for maintenance or something like that. But this started this weekend and prevailed into today. I tried the mirrors (loki, dharma, and ragtime), which sometimes gets me in, but yesterday and today I kept coming up with the same result. The only way I was able to get on was to go to google.com, type a string that I knew was in one of the threads into the "advanced search" box, and and it gave me a couple of shots at it (thanks, mousethief!), which allowed me to access the thread directly -- a pretty damned convoluted way of going about it! I was able to access other threads and such, but I couldn't go anyplace from there (such as "Resources"). Other people seemed to be accessing Mudcat okay, because there were new messages showing up, so I got to wondering if I'm goofing up somewhere.

Can somebody enlighten me?
