Airport blocking sites from me

got a strange problem. my airport is blocking some sites from me. i can reach the sites if i type in the server number, but if i enter it as alpha characters i get nothing. thought it was my hosting service, then my isp. once i disconnected airport and connected directly into the modem it all worked (and at a fast speed too). i've downloaded airport admin utility 4.2 (i'm running osx 10.5.2) and an old snow single ethernet port airport.
any clues on how i clear the dns records (or whatever) out of my airport so it doesn't block sites and slow things down for me?

Now how do I "ensure that the DNS server settings ... are equal to the ones used in the Ethernet section of my network preferences?"
If your Internet service provider (ISP) provides your IP address via DHCP, or if you choose your IP address manually, the DNS server settings for the base station are at AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow > (select base station) > Configure > (enter base station password) > Internet > "Connect Using: Ethernet" > "DNS servers:"
If your ISP provides your IP address via PPPoE, the DNS server settings for the base station are at AirPort Admin Utility for Graphite and Snow > (select base station) > Configure > (enter base station password) > Internet > "Connect Using: PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)" > "DNS servers:"
The DNS server settings for the Mac are at System Preferences > Network > "Show: Built-in Ethernet" > "TCP/IP" > "DNS Servers:" (Caveat: I use OS 10.4, so if there is a relevant difference in OS 10.5, I apologize.)
Each of the DNS servers entered in these fields, if any, is represented by four numbers separated by dots. Since the settings on the Mac when it is wired to the modem seem to have no DNS problems, I expect that you could add, delete or change the ones in AirPort Admin Utility to match those.
Is there some sort of AirPort preference that I should trash? or repair permissions? Or some DNS memory that needs to get flushed?
Good question. I don't know all the places where DNS data are cached. I doubt that the base station itself collects any DNS hostname data, especially none that it retains if it has been powered down. If its DNS server settings are corrupted, I suppose that a hard reset of the base station should fix that. See Resetting the AirPort Base Station (Dual Ethernet).
One more question. As I open up AirPort Admin Utility 4.2.5 it tells me "A newer version (4.0.9) of base station software is available. Click upload to install it now." Should I do that? Will it work with my older base station and newer OS X?
Yes.

Is there any way to block **** sites from my iPad ?

Is there any way to block **** sites from my iPad?

there are parental control apps you can look into. Such as McGruff. You block safari in restrictions then use the mcgruff app. Or you can look into your router and see what settings you can change there.
Also, depending on your service provider, some give you free access to content control.

Airport blocking site?

I cannot access one website on any mac (Macbook pro, iMac and iPad) on my network. I am using Airport Extreme. (Airport is connected to Cable modem by Ethernet and the rest access it wirelessley) I can access the site on my phone if I turn WiFi off. Hence the problem seems to be the Airport blocking the site. The site is http://vesap2.com/courses. Can anyone help?

I cannot access any site at vesap2.com including http://vesap2.com/Courses/login/index.php. I tried various other ways also. I can remote login with Remote Desktop to my windows pc at work and can access them. I spoke with support at vesap2 and we narrowed it to the router somehow blocking the site.

Airport blocking me from sending email

In the past email has worked from Mail. but today, our clearwire had an outage in our area this morning. Email was sending fine. Then about 3 hours ago, I couldn't send out email anymore through Mail. Have isolated the problem to our Airport Extreme but don't know how to fix it.
When connected to directly to the Clearwire modem, email sending is fine.

Google reads your emails, in case you did not know that. Unless you are sending an email containing content Google can extract and add to its vast database of personal information, Google has no use for it.
Google Mail is becoming progressively useless. It won't accept .zip attachments, at least not the last time I tried, it will eventually prevent you from using an email client unless you visit their web mail interface, and it will disable your account if you attempt to log in from someplace Google deems is not where Google thinks you ought to be.
Gmail is worth every cent you paid.
Get rid of MacKeeper. It is capable of doing nothing beneficial and will only cause problems.

Firefox is blocking site from finding my location

When visiting http://www.geocaching.com/ I would like them to "Find My Location" when I click on the link. The first time I did this, a FireFox pop-up asked me if I wanted to allow or prevent. I accidentally clicked prevent. I do NOT want to prevent this. HOW do I reverse this action? I am unable to find the information anywhere. Because I cannot reset this, I need to use Internet Explorer instead. Please help. Thank you.

Thank you for your reply. The message I am getting is telling me that this site "infotechalliance" has ask Firefox to secure the site but cannot confirm that it is secure. I cannot locate this site, any suggestions???

How do I defeat or whitelist the "Firefox has blocked this site from loading another web page" function?

Often when I click a link within a web page, a message bar appears at the top of the page saying "Firefox has blocked this site from loading another page" or something similar. This happens frequently on banking or credit card sites. This is particularly annoying because it seems to disturb the operation of the link when I have to click the "Allow" box on the message bar. I would prefer to create a whitelist for this feature so it would not interrupt my banking operations. Failing that, I would like to know how to toggle the feature on and off. Failing that, I would like to know how to defeat the function.

See:
*Firefox > Options/Preferences > Advanced > General : Accessibility : [ ] "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page"
The setting in "Options > Advanced > General" is meant as an accessibility feature, as you can see by the label of that section, so that people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and is not meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.

If you right-click an image you can select to "Block Images" from the site, but how do you reverse this choice?

If you right-click an image on a web page you can select to
"Block Images from [the url of the site]".
This works well, particularly to make the page printer-friendly, but how do you reverse this choice to see the images again?

You can see all permissions for the current page in Tools > Page Info > Permissions
If it is from a different domain then use this:
*A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (Site Identification icon) on the left side of the location bar.
*A click on the "More Information" button will open the Security tab of the "Page Info" window (also accessible via "Tools > Page Info").
*Open the Media tab of the "Page Info" window.
*Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow key.
*If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box "Block Images from..." then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.

Trying to block cookies from a certain site?

I am trying to block cookies from a certain site, in this case criteo.com, which seems to be causing banner ads that mess with the visual of my netflix and facebook accounts because of their size. I tried following directions on the criteo site, but the blocking is not working!

Hello,
'''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* On Mac you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''option''' key while starting Firefox.
* On Linux you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by quitting Firefox and then going to your Terminal and running: firefox -safe-mode (you may need to specify the Firefox installation path e.g. /usr/lib/firefox)
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Every time I get on my banking site Fire Fox blocks me from changing pages from the sign in page to the account page. It blocks it and I can not sign in to my account. It is an allowed site

hello SalvdrnG24, this sounds like an issue caused by malware on your machine. please perform these steps:
# [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]] (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
# afterwards go to firefox > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.

Apple Airport blocks certain web sites. How do I fix this.

My airport has blocked me from my own websites I maintain. After talking to my Internet provider and my domain services, it is the airport that is causing it. I can unplug my Internet cable from the airport and connect directly to my computer and my websites are available. But once I use the airport they are blocked. Please Help.

The AirPort base stations, in themselves, cannot block specific websites or websites in total. Although you have already talked to your ISP and web host, the more likely scenario is one or both are blocking your AirPort's WAN side hardware MAC address. This is where I would pursue your troubleshooting further.

First direct link in google search causes "Internet Explorer blocked this site from downloading"

I've disabled both the Adobe Reader Add-on and the Adobe PDF Link Helper to force IE 8 to open PDF's outside of the browser i.e in the stand alone reader application.
After doing this I did some testing, a google search for "test pdf" produces numerous direct links to pdf files. If i click any of them it causes IE to display the message bar "Internet Explorer blocked this from downloading files to your computer, click her for options.." When I click on the message bar, it appears to download the file , then nothing happens. Next time I click the link it opens in the stand alone reader just fine and so do all PDF files, until the browser is restarted or a new tab is started.
This only seems to happen in IE8. IE9 doesn't have the problem.
If I open a web page that has a link to a PDF that always work.
Help? I can't roll this out to prod. Users will get very confused...

You actually trashed the whole Internet Preferences Folder including all your preferences still in there?
Actually, you were suppose to just trash the Internet Preference file/document which is inside the folder.
See if updating to the latest & last version of IE for Mac will help.
Internet Explorer (Classic) 5.1.7
Internet Explorer 5.1.7
Internet Explorer v5.1.7
"WARNING:" Microsoft ended support for Internet Explorer for Mac on December 31st, 2005, and is not providing any further security or performance updates.
Accordingly, as of January 31st, 2006, Internet Explorer for the Mac is no longer available for download from Microsoft.
Or, you can try the following w/your older version of IE:
Once a week Go into the system folder>preferences folder & trash the following preferences:
finder
ASLM
PPC Registration Database
Cache.waf-found inside the MS Internet Cache folder
MRJ Cache folder-a new one will be recreated.(If not found go to System folder>Application Support>MRJ Cache folder-trash all you find inside-(DO NOT TRASH THIS FOLDER)
Download Cache-found inside Explorer Folder
Downloads.html-found inside Explorer Folder
History.html-found inside Explorer Folder
Rebuild your desktop w/extensions off. Use Techtool Lite or Trash*Desktop - may delete Finder comments to rebuild your desktop w/extensions off. Does a better job than manually & you avoid all the finger gymnatics. You just have to hold down the shift key to shut off extensions.
Restart to turn the extensions back on again & empty the trash.
Good luck!
