interesting - I never bothered to try to access my Blackboard account - I got the same error you did. Actually, for what I need my Blackboard account for - my 7105t just doesn't have the screen size or the speed to make it worth the while..

You could contact the university's Network Security Admin - they might be able to help...

OT - I can access my .edu email account via my BB ( I'm on a BIS ) - man - it's handy!!
