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.

  • Unable to access certain sites

    Since early yesterday morning I have been unable to access several internet sites, including, for example, LastPass.com.  No hardware, software or settings were changed.  I can access these sites on my iPhone with Verizon wireless and today I was able to access all of them from work (with a non-Verizon Fios ISP).  Again, it is multiple sites that I simply cannot access which is causing problems.  For example, in addition to not being able to use LastPass, my Evernote account will not sync.
    I have tried the following:
    (1) Deleting temporary internet files, cookies, etc. and flushing the dns;
    (2) Rebooting my router mutliple times;
    (3) Turning off my firewall (even though nothing has been changed...); and
    (4) Spending an hour with Fios technical support which, after completely resetting my router, resulted in nothing except the rep offering to sell me premium suppport service...
    I have heard of Verizon sometimes fighting with certain other providers or pipeline providers (?), where access can be temporarily limited.  Since this problem is affecting my computer (wired to the router), as well as all the other (wireless) devices in my house, I really need to find a solution as soon as possible.
    Any suggestions?  Does anyone understand how provider/pipeline disputes my disrupt access to just certain sites?  Any way to verify that?

    Glad to try to help... There are a few suggestions here http://www.makeuseof.com/answers/dns-error-sites-open-fine-pcs/ . I would try changing your DNS server on the router ... This procedure http://www.verizon.com/support/residential/internet/fiosinternet/troubleshooting/network/questionson...  will get you to the correct screen BUT use 8.8.8.8 for Primary DNS server, and 8.8.4.4  as secondary

  • After updating my Firefox, I am unable to access my top sites(those 8 blocks). How can I get them back?

    Not even the switching option on the top corner is being available.

    Try to use the SearchReset extension to reset some preferences to the default values.
    *https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/searchreset/
    Note that the SearchReset extension only runs once and then uninstalls automatically, so it won't show on the "Firefox > Add-ons" page (about:addons).
    See also this article about the New Tab page (about:newtab):
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/new-tab-page-show-hide-and-customize-top-sites
    You can check these prefs on the <b>about:config</b> page and reset them if necessary via the right-click context menu.

    *browser.newtabpage.enabled

  • Unable to access certain sites- network prefences help?

    I'm having issues connecting to certain websites with 'unusual' top level domains like .me or .tv sites. For example, when I try to visit the site www.formspring.me I get the message "Firefox can't establish a connection to the server at www.formspring.me." (I get the same error on Safari) Now, I can access Formspring via a proxy site, which makes this seem like Formspring is being blocked via a firewall, except I have no firewall set. I spoke with my internet provider (Verizon) and they are useless.
    I'm operating on Mac OSX 10.5.8. I have no firewall set on my router, and haven't touched any Network settings that I know of. Any suggestions? Help?

    Ok, I tried that and I still get the error "Unable to Connect."
    I've tried using my laptop on other internet connections (at my friend's house, at work, at Starbucks) and I still get the "Unable to Connect" when i attempt to open sites that end in .me or .tv
    I called Apple and they didn't do anything- they kept saying it was my router's problem, but since I've tried other internet connections I think it's my laptop's issue.

  • After update of Yosemite, Finder couldn´t get access...

    After update of Yosemite, Finder couldn´t get access to Time Capsule. Connection failed. Restart of the Time Capsule doesn´t solve the problem.

    The trick seems to be:
    unmount volume (eject whatever)
    turn wifi off
    turn wifi on
    Cmd-K (or whatever) to find and remount volume.
    This is with Yosemite 10.10.1 update.

    I Have the same issue on a brand new iPad mini 2. My battery is only lasting up to 5 hours. I went on chat with Apple last night and they said my battery is fine and its a Safari issue. I'm literally losing 1% every 3-4 minutes. I tried recalibrating my battery, signing out of iCloud, shutting off all locations, turning off background app refresh, restoring network settings, restoring all, and finally restoring from iTunes with no luck. This is just awful. I got this iPad so I could use it on my long flight for a trip I have coming up, and unfortunately, it's not going to last that long, plus I'm concerned about how many times i will be recharging my battery because of this since battery's do have a life cycle dependent on the number of charges. This is frustrating and needs to be fixed ASAP and addressed by Apple.
    By the way, Apple told me to bring my device to the Apple Store because it's still under warranty. That's great and all, but I'm going to waste my time if there is no fix for this issue.
    Ok so you want Apple to address the problem, but yet you don't want to take it to them just in case they can't fix it? What if they can fix it? Complaining here certainly won't fix it.

    Force close the App Store app and reset the iPad. No data will be lost when you reset the device.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • 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.

  • HT1338 unable to access certain websites

    Unable to access certain websites using safari browser.  any ideas!!!!

    One of the first things you want to try is if you can get to these same sites on TMG itself. Create an Access rule that allows HTTP and HTTPS from Localhost (TMGs network adapter) to Anywhere (it's under Computer Sets). Apply it and then make sure that IE
    is not set to use anything for a proxy. Clear all the boxes. Can you browse these sites? If not then your proxy clients will not be able to. Open a command prompt and use nslookup to see if TMG is resolving the sites. Remember that proxy clients rely on TMG
    to do the name resolution for them. If it is not working then you will have a problem.
