Chris598 Posted March 21, 2007 Share Posted March 21, 2007 As the title says all of a sudden my browsers arent loading some pages. For example, insanelymac.com will load but I get a "safari can't connect to the server" error can anyone offer some insight?

Headrush69 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 It does this with all browsers? Firefox, Opera? A) Could be the media autodetection of your ethernet. Try manually setting your connection 10Mbps half-duplex. :pirate2: Drop down to terminal and use nslookup and see if DNS lookups are still working. Can you reach the site by using the site IP number?

System Preferences -> Network -> pick your interface -> configure -> Ethernet tab Do you have a hardware router/firewall that is doing NAT? (NAT = Network Address Translation) (If you don't know, post your machine IP. ifconfig id command to find IP address.)

Headrush69 Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 So you are or aren't now? You'll have to explain your setup a little more detailed. Check out http://www.opendns.com/. I had DNS issues with my ISP. Because the timeout on Windows was longer, it appeared Windows didn't fail, but it did. My ISP said there was no problem with their DNS service, but once switching from their servers to openDNS, I haven't had a single issue. If you need helping setting this up, I need more info on your setup.
