Accessing computer company web sites

I have a teacher that would like to have students access www.dell.com,
www.hp.com, and www.toshiba.com. When the students go to the first two
sites, none of the graphics show up and words are on top of each other. The
www.toshibadirect.com site seems to work fine. What might be causing the
other 2 sites to give us trouble? They show up fine on the computers when I
log in as administrator.
Setup:
NW 6.5 SP 5
BM 8.5 SP3
ZfD 7.1hp7

I just checked and I'm actually on SP4, but I will upgrade over the
Christmas break to SP5. Is there any reason to jump directly to 3.9?
I tried the two rules you suggested and it made no difference. I have
attached a screen shot of what we are seeing on the students screens when
they go to www.dell.com. It shows up properly if I log on as admin on the
same machine.
Thanks.

Can't access a school web site that I've used for years-can't log in with user and password. All other bookmarks are fine-tried several things including re-install-Other browsers are O.K.

I have an iMac-have used Firefox exclusively for years. I can't access a school web site-can't get past the log in with user ID and password. Screen stays at log in screen. Tried clearing history-tried uninstall and re-install. All other web sites/bookmarks work fine. Thanks in advance.

Try clearing the cache and deleting cookies for the site, this can sometimes resolve problems accessing sites that used to work. See [[how to clear the cache]] and [[deleting cookies]] for details.

I can access my employers web site, but when i try to access the employees section of the web site it says that i need netscape, can someone help

Hi, My employer has a web site & as a part of the service to the employees, the employees can access personal details through the web site. I can access my employers web site not a problem, BUT - when i try to access the employees part of the web site it tells me "This browser is not supported.
You must be running Netscape 7.1 or greater."
Can someone please help?

It is possible that the server gets confused by the user agent that is modified by your Ubuntu distribution and adds Ubuntu/10.10 (maverick)
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-AU; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101206 Ubuntu/10.10 (maverick) Firefox/3.6.13
You can try to reset the pref general.useragent.extra.* that add that part.

My company web site said I don't have windows media player or Acrobat Reader. If I use IE It lets me in. What do I do?

My company web site said I don't have windows mediA player or Acrobat Reader. If I go in with IE I don't have any problems. What do I do?

There is a very good chance you are experiencing a problem with having both Reader and Acrobat installed on the same machine.
You need to remove one and repair (or possibly reinstall) the other. It isn't recommended or supported to have both.

Help - can't access my staging web site

Hello
A while back I wrote in seeking advice re: losing my access to a staging web site - Camelot kindly wrote the following, which I did but it didn't work...
"Provided you're an admin on your system the easiest way is to open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app and run the command:
sudo echo "11.11.111.111 www.ekekekek.com" >> /etc/hosts
exactly as written (changing the IP address if you need to). This command uses sudo to elevate your privileges. You'll be asked to authenticate by typing in your password (which won't be visible), then it'll run the 'echo' command which simply prints whatever's within the quotes and appends it to the file /etc/hosts. "
Very helpful, but it didn't give me access to my staging site...last week my mac G5 crashed and had a kernel panic - spent about 1 1/2 days on the phone with half a dozen Apple techs trying to fix - it's fixed but now for whatever reason I can't access my Staging web site through any browser, though our live site is OK from any browser.
So what can I do to again have access to the staging site? Are there more steps I should know in addition to Camelot's directions? What?
I'm not a techy at all but designer so the more specific, very much appreciated.
Thanks very much
Kent

OK so I figured out that I was supposed to go to
Terminal/file/New Command to type in Camelot's code -
which I did, got the password prompt, wrote it, it
accepted it and came back with this: (the IP and name
below, I've changed for this post only)
"12.12.121.271 www.mycertainname.com">>/etc/hosts
[Process completed]
Hmm. That looks a little odd to me. First off, did you include the "sudo echo" part at the beginning from Camelot's post? I'm also a little curious about the "[process completed]" part. Usually, I come straight back to the prompt.
But when I now go to type in my staging site's name
in the browser, I get another web site which has the
same name, still can't access this site of mine.
I don't give my staging sites the same names, so I'm not sure how that would work if it had the same name as another site. For example, if I have a domain called "mydomain.com," the real web server would be "www.mydomain.com" and my staging server would be
something like "staging.mydomain.com." That way, if I want to look at the real site, I type in one address. I type in the other if I want the staging server. You can't (easily) have the same text address (www.mydomain.com) resolve to different IP addresses. That requires some special DNS tricks that are beyond the abilities of the /etc/hosts file.
At this point, re-run this Terminal command and post the results:
<pre class="command">cat /etc/hosts</pre>Also, I can't figure out how to do this from the Network Utility, but you can check and see where your Mac is getting its lookup information by using another Terminal program called lookupd. You can also use it to flush the DNS cache, in case that's what's causing it to go to the other site. To flush the cache, type this in the Terminal at the prompt:
<pre class="command">sudo lookupd -flushcache</pre>You should just get the prompt back when it's done. There's no feedback.
To check where your Mac is getting its lookups, you use lookupd in an interactive mode. First, you type:
<pre class="command">lookupd -d</pre>At the prompt in the Terminal window. Then you'll get a few lines of text and a ">" prompt. Type "hostWithName", then a space and your host's name, so it looks like this:
<pre class="command">> hostWithName: www.apple.com</pre>When you hit the enter key, it'll do the lookup and give you a few lines information:
<pre class="command">Dictionary: "DNS: host www.apple.com.akadns.net"
lookup_DNSdomain: apple.com.akadns.net
lookup_DNSserver: 208.67.222.222
lookup_DNS_time_tolive: 58
lookup_DNStimestamp: 1167796142
lookupagent: DNSAgent
lookup_infosystem: DNS
interface: 4
ip_address: 17.112.152.32
name: www.apple.com.akadns.net www.apple.com
+ Category: host
+ Time to live: 43200
+ Age: 0 (expires in 43200 seconds)
+ Negative: No
+ Cache hits: 0
+ Retain count: 4</pre>Notice how it mentions DNS servers in several places, including "DNSAgent". That meant it used the DNS server at 208.67.222.222 to find the address for www.apple.com. Now, if I try it with a staging server (hosted on my iMac in this case), see what happens:
<pre class="command">> hostWithName: test.mydomain.com
Dictionary: "FF: host test.mydomain.com"
lookupagent: FFAgent
lookupvalidation: /etc/hosts 2 1166756640
ip_address: 127.0.0.1
name: test.mydomain.com
+ Category: host
+ Time to live: 43200
+ Age: 0 (expires in 43200 seconds)
+ Negative: No
+ Cache hits: 0
+ Retain count: 3</pre>Now, see how it says it looked it up using the FFAgent (Flat File), and even says it got it from /etc/hosts? If you're seeing anything except for FFAgent, then it's not looking in /etc/hosts for the info. There are ways to change the lookup order lookupd uses, but I'm pretty certain it was already set to use the flat files before DNS way before Panther.
To quit the lookupd program, just type "quit" at the prompt.

Firefox can't access a specific web site. WHY?

"I have already posted that in 10.4 Forum but the problem is in Leopard"
At home and office I can't access a specific web site with Firefox.
I have tried everything I was able to: cleared cache, deleted cookies, deleted firefox prefs, flushed DNS, tried to log with IP instead of domain, created a new user account in Mac OS, repaired permissions, but nothing happens!
The strange thing is I can access the web site trough a proxy. And I don't have a firewall or similar, my Mac is conected directly to the web. And the problem is the same in any browser I use, like Safari or Firefox or Camino.
Anyone has any idea about what is causing my problem?
Just in case, the site is demonoid.com.
PS: Thanks BDAqua to all support on the other thread.

demonoid.com
I feel like a dork. Maybe next time I'll read the post better.
Okay, I went to that site and it works fine for me.

No proxies, AV, firewalls or anything. The internet cable is pluged into this Mac.
The problem began 2 weeks ago. When I loaded the page the browser shows status done at the bottom of the window, and at the address bar I see the icon of the web site nd the address but nothing is shown. The source code for that page also is in blank.
I am now using firefox 3 and still have the problem. Safari is up to date with no enhancers. I uninstall all extensions from Firefox also.
Hard to believe, hum?

What is causing safari to lock up every time I try to access my college web site

What is causing safari to lock up every time I try to access my college web site.....all other sites work fine

Had to say.
What is your college website?

Is Mavericks the cause fro my losing access to Dropbox. I cannot even access the Dropbox web site.

No. Works fine for me.
Are you at work, and does your network restrict access to certain sites?
Try a different browser.
Try restarting Safari.
Try restarting your Mac.

Accessing printer via web site

How do I access the printer via web site?I tried entering the 127.0.0.1 but IE couldn't open the page.What am I missing?

The 127.0.0.1 address is the loopback address for your (and everyone's) computer. You will want find the IP address of the printer. You can do this from the front panel of the computer, if the printer is wireless touch the wireless icon on the bottom of the LCD. Once you have the IP Address of the printer put that in your browser.

Unable to access a particular web site via FOS

This problem started a week or so ago. Using different computers (Windows or MAC) I am not able to access the web site www.vibeconference.com which is using IP Address 74.208.213.17 using any of several browsers, Explorer, Firefox, Safari. In addition, I am not able to ping the url or IP address, I just get timeouts.
All of the above occurs when I use a computer connected to my FIOS Service. I can access this url just fine using my Cell Phone which uses Verizon Wireless or my wife's using AT&T Wireless
I have tried using OpenDNS's DNS Servers, same problem. I am baffled by the fact that it only happens with this one web site (that I know of).
I have power cycled my router, checked its settings, no luck.
Any ideas?

OK, I figured out how to use a Free Web Proxy and am able to navigate to the web site. I am still baffled by what is causing the block but I guess that is the hosting companies issue or some issue between them and Verizon. I also left my router off overnight so that I would get a different IP address which I did. So it is not my particular IP address which is getting blocked but probably a range belonging to Verizon.

Accessing Social Security web site

I suddenly cannot access the social security web site, both its old url and its new url. I have tried to change my dns server. I can get to everything else. I live in Germany. This is a problem with both safari and firefox. My ipad can't get there either.

OK I went there and it says it's just me. I am lost as to where to go from here. None of my devices can get to the site, ipad, iphone, mac book pro. I tried adding a different dsn server. I still get a time out.

CSS not being accessed on certain Web sites

When I access www.thebytestopshere.com (my Web site), none of the text is rendered according to the rules set forth in the .css file. It does render correctly if I access the files from my C:\ drive. Everything renders properly in Internet Explorer, and in other versions of FireFox installed on other computers. However, if I start a "private browsing session" in FireFox, everything appears to render perfectly. I tried to submit feedback to Mozilla (unsuccessfully), and now I am seeking assistance. Is it possible to make private browsing sessions the default? If so, what are the ramifications? I would hate to have to go back to using IE, but this problem is troublesome, and makes no apparent sense. Can you help?

Clear the cache for sites that have loading problems. 
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How%20to%20clear%20the%20cache 
Also if this site has to work in Firefox, you can try to reduce the number of programming errors, that is always very helpful to avoid problems.
