My internet connection appears to be online

The following message appeared while tring to view a Quicktime movie from a link in a web page. Who would have thought that being online would keep you from accessing internet content.

How did you fix it

The problem was specific to that host and so I never saw the video. But the problem hasn't recurred anywhere else. It was just a really odd error message.

I have the same error when trying to watch the apple keynote speech!

_exactly_ the same symptoms and setup as anonymous before me.

I solved it by completely deactivating the 3rd party Little Snitch application firewall. Merely adding a QuickTime ALLOW rule did NOT work.
