Problem accessing www.apple.com Options

[hepaminondas]

Hi all,

I am having problems accessing www.apple.com and other related addresses.
I am inside a WLAN, but the problem has already manifested itself in other networks. My router is using OpenDNS.
My MBP is the only computer on the network having this problem.

From the NetworkUtility I ran some diagnostic tools, and got the following

CODE

traceroute www.apple.com

Traceroute has started ...

traceroute to (127.0.0.1), 64 hops max, 40 byte packets
1 localhost (127.0.0.1) 0.329 ms 0.041 ms 0.030 ms

CODE

ping www.apple.com

Ping has started ...

But the address lookup doesn't show any problem

The results with the direct IP address (17.112.152.32) were, however, positive.
I think that, somehow, the domain apple.com is associated with my local computer.

Any idea to what might be causing this, and how to fix it?

Just found the reason for this.
The following line in the /etc/hosts file

CODE

127.0.0.1 &nbsp www.apple.com

No idea how it got there...
