Strange problem displaying external files (css includes)

Question

Hope somebody can help me with this. First of all, I'm running mac os x 10.4.11 using dreamweaver 8.0.2.
Just recently i've been unable to display any external files (namingly my css; attached as includes) when I open a local document. Tried to delete my "site cache" as well as re-creating the site prefs and made sure "Display External Files" is checked under COMMANDS. Still nothing. Anyone have a idea it just all of a sudden stopped displaying all external fles???

Peter,
I tried testing the RSS feed using a FeedReader, and it works with that. But, when I try feed the same URL ( http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss ) as the XML source in the Omniportlet, I get the following error message:
Error
Failed to open specified URL. Check the following: is the URL is active; is there a valid proxy setting or, if HTTP authentication is required, check user name and password. [http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss]
Here is how the proxy is defined in the Provider.xml file:
<proxyInfo class="oracle.portal.provider.v2.ProxyInformation">
<httpProxyHost>www-proxy.us.oracle.com</httpProxyHost>
<httpProxyPort>80</httpProxyPort>
<proxyUser>my Oracle Single-SignOn username</proxyUser>
<proxyPassword>my Oracle Single-signOn pwd</proxyPassword>
</proxyInfo>
I am on the Oracle Intranet. So, please let me know how I could reach you offline, if you think that will make things easier to resolve this problem.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Kalyan
