If you have links to outside resources in D2L Content, be sure they are set to “Open as External Resources.” or Target: New Window. This opens your outside website or resource in another browser tab or window, avoiding any conflicts or “refuse-to-connect” messages. Plus, it’s a better thing for students, because they can conveniently return to D2L in the previous browser tab, rather than using the Back button or additional navigation.
