Unable to access web sites

A couple days ago I was having trouble accessing my long-time email web site bookmarked on Firefox and assumed their server was down which happens. Then I discovered that I also can't get to my local bank. The message I get is some version of "Server Not Found" or it just hangs. Then my husband discovered he could get to all of them easily on his Dell.
I tried other web browsers like Safari, downloaded Firefox again, deleted cookies and caches and downloaded Opera with no luck. I can access all my other web sites and bookmarks through any of these browsers. There have been no crashes or major events.
We are in Tajikistan now (Central Asia) with the nearest Apple Store several countries away! We use a dial-up modem but have had great internet success--especially with my iBook--since September. We leave for home in a couple weeks but would like to clear this up now since I use the internet often.
The odd thing is that we live in Williamstown, Massachusetts, and the two web sites I can't access both start with "Williams". You don't think it's some sort of cryptic message that they don't want me back, do you? Or have I been in Central Asia too long?
Thanks, Kathryn

Hello Kathryn & Welcome to Apple Discussions!!
Could you paste the links here of the sites you can not access, so we can try them?
The odd thing is that we live in Williamstown, Massachusetts, and the two web sites I can't access both start with "Williams". You don't think it's some sort of cryptic message that they don't want me back, do you?
mmh, no I don't think so ; )

  • Unable to Access Web Site (with same name) outside of Local Network

    Hi everyone,
    I have my web site (and some other services) hosted outside of my network by my hosting provider, but handle all other items using OS X Server on my network (i.e. Wiki and so forth).
    The problem is now that I am unable to access my website at www.mydomain.com from within the network. I have external DNS set up for www.mydomain.com to point to my website, while mydomain.com points to my OS X Server (static IP address). Internally in OS X Server's DNS settings this used to work when I had www.mydomain.com resolving to the IP address of my web host, in addition to the default domain settings that OS X had set up. For some reason this is no longer working, and I am unable to figure out why.
    Using latest version of OS X Server 3.0.2.
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
    Update: this ended up being a redirect issue on the web host. I added another subdomain that was hosted externally, and it worked fine. For some reason my web host is redirecting www.mydomain.com to domain.com.

    I am in Texas and cannot get to that site either. Do you know for sure the site is up and working? It could just be down (for days, a site I support was down for almost 4 full days a few weeks ago due to a virus problem).
    This may (again, may) be your problem: I see you have a173.48.x.x (you really should x-out the last two octets of your IP address for privacy reasons), I am on a 173.74.x.x address; I know some people have had problems with getting to some sites now that they have a 173.x.x.x address. I think Verizon obtained addresses in that range and some of the addresses apparently previously belonged to spammers or some malicious folks.Some sites (web sites, intermeidate routers, etc.) blocked those addresses, and may not have updated their filters to remove the block on those addresses because they don't know that Verizon now owns them. If this is the problem, eventually those filters will get updated and you will be able to access the site, but this could be a fairly long time.
    If you know how to contact that site I suggest you email them about the problem. You can also try turning off your router overnight and when you turn it back on the next day you may find that you have a different address (one that doesn't start with 173) that will allow you to get to the site.
    I don't think there is much Verizon can do to help, it is not their site that is blocking your address (at least I don't think it is).
    Hope this helps.

  • Firefox icon disappeared, have to use Internet Explorer to access web sites. Although I can get into Yahoo home page, am unable to open e-mail account.

    Turned on computer this am and firefox icon not there. Used Internet Explorer to access web sites. Was able to access my Yahoo home page but not able to open my e-mail account. I am not savvy enough to change settings by myself, so I really need help.
    Thank you

    Hi--I tried your suggestion and no dice. A window came up with the following:The item 'Firefox.exe' that has this shortcut will no longer work properly. Do you want to delete?
    Another window said 'C:Program files (x86) Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe' specified in the target box is not valid. Make sure the path and file name are correct.
    I have no clue as to what that means. I did delete the shortcut.
    Finally went into our Kaspersky virus protection and found Firefox is in quarantine and that is probably why I am unable to uninstall and reinstall.
    Any ideas????
    Thanks, Ginny

  • Just recently I am getting the following error message when trying to access web sites. I get a pop up window stating "Exc in ev handl: TypeError: c.location is null" then I have to click ok. It is an issue with some plug-in?

    Just recently I am getting the following error message when trying to access web sites. I am using Firefox browser version 10.0.2. I get a pop up window stating "Exc in ev handl: TypeError: c.location is null" as the web site page is being displayed in browser winder. Then I have to click ok. It doesn't matter what web link/site I go to it happens. It is an issue with some plug-in?

    I have advised McAfee's product team of the problem and this thread, and they're looking into it now.

  • After updating to 10.4.11 unable to access certain site.

    Since I updated to 10.4.11 I am unable to access the site: www.wdwinfo.com. My wife would listen to a podcast hosted by the site. iTunes just keeps spinning away that it's looking. I tried all four browsers on my machine to see if I could reach the site (Safari, Camino, Firefox and Flock). I cleaned all caches and histories. I am able to get to the site on my ipod touch on my neighbours open wifi. I can even ping the site on my machine and get a response but as far as my browsers and iTunes are concerned they just sit there waiting to connect. I called my ISP and they can get the site no problem. I tried another computer in the building that is with the same provider and they have no problem. All other websites and podcasts work fine.
    I'm running 10.4.11 on an 1.83GHz Intel iMac.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Mark

    The 216.167.116.52 address worked for about an hour while I downloaded the podcasts and then stopped working. I entered the DNS Server number you mentioned in the network settings but I'm still back to no access.
    The setup I am working with is ExpressVu TV/Internet for condos. The phone company (Bell) setup a main frame in the building and provide my TV and internet over the same cable. The motorola box set top box had a modem installed into it when they were setting it up. Ethernet from it to my Mac. In my network setting it shows that there is a router in the path. Would the router trump me putting in the DNS numbers? I'm guessing the router is sitting at the mainframe in the building.

  • DOD access card certificates not recognized when trying to access web sites with a card reader while older version of firefox did.

    In the past I have been able to access web sites that require certificates pulled from a common access card inserted into a card reader attached to my Mac. Since I have updated to the newer version of Firefox, the sites that I am trying to gain entry to are not recognizing either the card, card reader or those certificates. If I use Safari or my work computer, the sites recognize my card and certificates and I am grated entry. I would use Safari but I like the format of Firefox for the specific tasks that require the access card. Just looking for a solution. Firefox does open other sites just fine. It's just the ones that require the card, reader and certificates.

  • Unable to access ftp sites

    FF 32.02 on Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit. Attempting to access ftp site produces the following error message popup:
    211-Features:
    AUTH SSL
    AUTH TLS
    EPRT
    EPSV
    MDTM
    PASV
    PBSZ
    PROT
    with the following page displayed after acknowledging the popup:
    The connection was reset
    The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.
    The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
    If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
    If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
    Cuting-and-pasting the same URL into IE 11.0.9600 results in the page displaying with no problems. Therefore, there is none of the 3 suggestions is the problem.

    The county ftp site doesn't act strangely for me.
    I'm not sure whether these general suggestions are applicable to ftp sites, but just in case:
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * (menu bar) Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • Interactive Statement unable to access Web Service

    I have a working Flash Builder project from which I generate a nav file which I use to generate an Interactive Statement using a process in Workbench.
    The Interactive Statement works fine with all the Flash content and data merged from xml.
    When I incorporate using a Web Service in the Flash Builder project code to populate a data grid, and regenerate the nav file to generate the interactive statement, the interactive statement gives the following security error when opened:
    Security error accessing url
    Destination: DefaultHTTP
    It seemed that this issue is related to cross domain policy or something like that, BUT I do not get this error when:
    1. I run the Flash Builder project directly from Flash Builder that fires up IE and my flash content works perfectly fine in the HTML wrapper, including the web service call that works fine. This works fine both from the bin-debug and the bin-release folders of my Flash Builder project.
    2. I created an AIR application from scratch, and consumed the same webservice as used in the earlier Flash Builder project being used to generate nav file for Interactive Statement. The AIR application also works perfectly fine in invoking the web service and does not give any errors.
    Question: Why is my Interactive Statement unable to access the web service and gives the error as mentioned above when the same web service is being accessed and consumed successfully by the same flash content in an html wrapper and in an AIR application. How to make my flash content embedded in the PDF container to access and consume the web service?

    Hi Muhammad,
    Acrobat has different crossdomain restrictions.  Try a crossdomain file that looks like to test the connection:
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
    <cross-domain-policy>
    <site-control permitted-cross-domain-policies="all"/>
    <allow-access-from domain="*" to-ports="*" />
    <allow-http-request-headers-from domain="*" headers="*"/>
    </cross-domain-policy>

  • Unable to open web site

    Hi
    I am unable to open www.asx.com.au (the Australian Stock Exchange web site).
    www.isitjustme says it is ok and it's just me and one of my friends confirmed they were able to open the site.
    I have rebooted and also booted in safe mode and disabled AdBlockPlus and in safe mode the virus scanners appear to be off.
    I haven't been able to find the site listed anywhere on the iMac as being blocked, but am unsure where to start as this has not happened before.
    The problem cropped up earlier when I tried to open a spreadsheet in ApacheOpenOffice Calc and the links to import external data from their web pages failed. So I then tried to open the web site and can't open it. I have tried using Safari, Opera and Firefox. All other web sites are ok.
    Oh dear.... I just tried on my iPhone and that also failed to open the site.
    .....So does this mean that I need to contact the ASX tomorrow by phone or is there another possibility that I need to check.
    I though maybe the action of the spreadsheet upset them, but is has been fine for a long time, though I haven't opened it for a few weeks.
    Could it be the modem.... a NetComm NB9WMAXX
    Thanks
    Hardware Overview:
      Model Name:    iMac
      Model Identifier:    iMac7,1
      Processor Name:    Intel Core 2 Duo
      Processor Speed:    2.4 GHz
      Number Of Processors:    1
      Total Number Of Cores:    2
      L2 Cache:    4 MB
      Memory:    4 GB
      Bus Speed:    800 MHz
      Boot ROM Version:    IM71.007A.B03
    osx 10.6.8

    Just rebooted modem and now able to connect. I notice that the ASX web site has undergone a face lift so all the links in the spreadsheet may be broken and caused a bottleneck for me I suppose ????
    no replies thanks as is fixed now.

  • Most times when trying to access web sites get page stating Server Not Found..... Try Again. As soon as I hit try again I always get the web site - annoying!!!

    When I try to google websites OR even try to access my email I will be taken to a notice which states "Server Not Found" with several explanations with a TRY AGAIN button at the bottom. When I hit the try again button I am immediately taken to the web site or to my email. This happens constantly and very rarely can I access a web site or my email without this frame popping up.

    This is a very generic error message. 
    What user you are trying to search. Are you using username, display name or email address when searching
    Was any domain related changed done
    What if that users tried to logon to sharepoint site. 
    Does this error occur with all the account when you click edit? If not, based on the error,
    the user account which might be removed from Active Directory or renamed accidentally. Please have a check.

  • Unable to access web setup from 4 different Win7 machines with IE9 / FireFox

    I Hope someone can help, I suspect this may have something to do with a recent update to Windows or IE since this worked at least a couple of months ago.
    I'm unable to access the  web setup screen from 4 different windows machines running IE 9 or Firefox (various combinations of wireless, wired, etc.). When I get to the certificate error and hit the "yes, i understand, continue", it comes back with a 'can't be reached' page and looking into the details says the 'connection was dropped'.  However If I connect from a MacBook / safari, I'm able to reach the page fine (and admin the router).
    Summary:
    Using a wrt610n
    I am connected to the router, the ip address hasn't changed, the password hasn't changed
    I can use the router & connect to the internet
    I have the router set to require HTTPS, but switching it to allow HTTP doesn't help.
    Both Wired & Wireless Win 7 / IE9 machines can't connect.
    Tried setting the router ip address to 'trusted' zone in IE
    Tried setting the router ip address to the 'compatibility' mode in IE
    Tried using latest version of Firefox with the same results.
    Thanks in Advance!
    Stephen

    Before I suggest you any troubleshooting steps, I would like to ask few question. Like did you try opening the “https://192.168.1.1” in Internet Explorer 8. If not, then try to open the Router Management page in the same manner in Internet Explorer 8 and check whether it opens or not. As it should show up.

  • Sudden change in network settings - can no longer access web sites

    All of a sudden, I am no longer able to access any web sites on my Mac Mini. Everything was working fine and then yesterday I tried to get on-line to look something up and it didn't work.
    I restarted the computer, checked internet connectivity - which all appeared to be working correctly. When I went to check my System Preferences, Network - I got a message that pops up telling me my network settings had changed but it hangs there and when I click OK, it just hangs. I have to force quit to exit the network settings. The only change I've made recently has been to load Genius to itunes.

    I too have noticed that there's a split second after typing return that you can click on something (I've done "edit locations" in the pop-up). It solves temporarily, but seems to come back whenever you reboot or log in.
    I'm trying to decide if I have an additional problem or is a further complication: I'm using DSL through ethernet with the phone company. The symptoms of my intermittent problem are that sometimes I suddenly can't receive back web pages or email...loading a page or getting mail will simply time out without response. All other indications, however are that the connection is still good including status lights on the DSL modem and using the network utility to test a URL look up. I might attribute this to the security update bug, but two other machines that connect through the same hub and modem get no action either once this happens (TiPB running 10.4.3 & Prismo running 10.3.9). Is there any chance that the security update on the AlPb with 10.4.11 is blocking incoming traffic by setting something out at the DSL modem?
