So it's maybe a hang over from some AV/FW component still running.
Cleared at least 1 browser cache.
Do you need to use a proxy cache setting in your browsers for your ISP?
Maybe turn it off or try a different proxy.

So on the page
http://www.fingerlakesbmw.org/test/fltest.php
the thread refers to the HTTP_REFERER: is blank when you try it. That's
usually just the link you clicked on to get somewhere else.
It's blank because you aren't coming from another page.
Try
http://tools.virginmedia.com/
Click on - See my environment variables
the referer should be
http://tools.virginmedia.com/
It's true some AV / FW apps block this, Outpost does this, I have it set
to deny all , then enable for selected sites only,
So mapquest is JavaScript, Cookies, Referer, very long identifier
strings,

That's 1535 characters in the link, that maybe an issue as well.

Ah the big clue what was it?
>choice.
How about a link to the mapquest page?
So taking Boston, MA. as an example
http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp...20%28K%2d12%29
or shorter
http://preview.tinyurl.com/25sxg5
you get everything except the map.
What may be worth a try is download somethig like SamSpade, wfetch, load
the boston mapquest link , in your browser and do view source.
It's a lot of code to look through, but if something is missing it may
be a clue.
Using the trial version of UltraCompare may help if you save both the
wfetch and browser view source as text files.
