Actually I was running blast separately and got error messages from them as well and I assumed it was a connection problem But in fact it was two separate problems unrelated. Good catch And thanks again

Thank you for your detailed response and I should have noted that I
was
using the Main Public Galaxy. Thank you for confirming that it is
down!
I appreciate your input!

Hi Scott,
Galaxy is back for me now, and yes, the Galaxy tool you are talking about is called Megablast (version 1.2.0), and only offers these target databases:
htgs 13-Apr-2014 nt 17-Apr-2014 wgs 20-Apr-2014 phiX174
This Galaxy tool does *not* connect to the NCBI BLAST service over the internet.
It sounds like the problem was due to the Galaxy team updating these databases - as Jennifer mentioned?
I don't understand how you got an NCBI web server error message (in your email to Wayne), but perhaps you were separately testing the NCBI BLAST service outside of Galaxy?
Regards,
Peter
