Can't connect to some websites but internet is working

My internet is working but I can't connect to some websites ( various university) when I disconnect the time capsule and connect directly from the modem then it works. Internet provider said it was a problem with my time capsule...
I restored to factory settings and unplugged/ plugged 100 times. Even created new network.
Don't know what else to do...
Anyone out there with a similar experience??
Thanks!

Hi, barcenas. Welcome to the forums!
Check your TC's DNS settings. Try using 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. Does this allow you to connect to the websites?

Can't connect to any website through Firefox (Connecting...), but Internet Explorer works.

I have had on and off problems with Firefox working, but up until now, restarting the computer solved the problem. Now it won't load any website for anything...it keeps circulating with "Connecting...". Internet Explorer works just fine and the internet is working with all other devices, the only thing I can find that may be impacting is that the internet has no IPv6 access (I have no clue though and the box is checked). I have tried all of the advice I have found on other similar posts such as disabling the IPv6 and the Prefetch through 'about:config', I restarted the computer multiple times, unplugged the router, checked the firewall and removed and re-added Firefox, cleared the cookies and cache, reinstalled Firefox, uninstalled Chrome.
Nothing seems to be getting me any closer to having Firefox up and connecting again.
As a side note, I only have been having those on and off problems, and this current problem, while connected to my home internet--other connections have had no problems. Also, I am using Norton Antivirus which is up to date and showing no problems at present.
Any ideas on how to fix?

Have you flushed the dns cache on the computer recently? It could be that it has stored the unsuccessful message.

Can't connect to AOL website---but other sites are fine

To whom it may concern.....
Im having a really odd problem here that has been plaguing me for the last 6 months, my wife can not get to www.aol.com on one of the following devices, one of 3 laptops (2 win 1 mac), 2 iphones, 1 ipad or a desktop computer. I have tried rebooting the router several times and no luck, ive tired ie firefox, safari, and opera and no browser can get to the web site I even uninstalled any antivirus or firewall software and nothing. Here is the odd thing though with opera when I turn the "turbo" mode feature for slow internet connection, I can actually get to aol.com and surf but not their webmail and then after a few minutes with the site it will time out eventually. I do notice when going to aol.com its takes a very long time to respond back with a can't get to site. I have tried several ways in getting to the site, with different means, however when I use a cellular 3G/4G connection to any of the admentioned computers I can get to aol.com with no issues mail works fine as if nothing is going on. Now I have a 35mb connection and I just upgraded it to 75Mb speed yesterday (awaiting for it to be turned up) and I also ordered the new actiontec fios modem with gigabit network, is there anything that would be causing me not to get to aol.com from my fios internet?
Thanks

Solved!
Go to Solution.

On one of the computers, statically set the DNS Servers to;
8.8.8.8
4.2.2.3
208.67.222.222
and then try to access AOL.Com from that computer.

Safari can't connect to some servers but FF can??

Safari can’t open the page “http ://www.xxxxxxx.com/” because Safari can’t connect to the server “www.xxxx.com”.
I've been getting this all day but not with all sites. I tried FF on the last one where it happened and it opened it fine. I've even got this trying to open a page at Apple Support. How can I fix this?
It happened with both Safari 3.2.3 and with Safari 4 after I installed it today.
Computer: Powerbook 12" 1.5GHz, MacOS 10.4.11.
Thanks

I have just strated having the problem outlined above....with www.yahoo.com and www.google.com (both directly connecting to Google, and using the built-in search box in Safari). Others seem to be fine. Have tried the suggestion above - no luck. Also tried "Reset Safari" to no avail.
Has anyone discovered a solution?
I could try re-installing Safari I s'pose.....

I am connected to the interent but Firefox stopped working. It will not open any web site. My Interent Explorer is working.

Every website I try to open gives the standard message "the website is temporarily unavailable ....... " yet interent explorer opens all sites

I have the same problem but can go on to some websites but not others. I have tried what was suggested about clearing recent history and also the proxy server but it hasn't resolved the problem.

WRT54G v6 - Cant connect to some websites

I cant connect to some websites using the WRT54G v6 router, at first I thought it was an MTU issue but ive tried 1400-1492 to no avail. I also tried everything on the Linksys website for the issue at called "Encountering Difficulties Accessing Some Websites when Connected to a Linksys Router"
Another strange thing is that while one site may not work for awhile eventually I can get to it but then I cant get to another one. At first it was google and slashdot, then it was gametab, now its gamespy. Everything was fine on my old router fyi. Im using the latest Linksys firmware v1.01.1. and im connecting to the router by ethernet cable, not wirelessly.
Ideas? Suggestions?

Open "Network Connections" and then right click and select "Repair". Run the network setup Wizard in XP again, shut down all pc's and do a power cycle.
Hope this helps

TS1398 have been connected to my wireless network using a netgear sky broadband router succesfully for a few weeks, suddenly can't connect, network is showing but no signal - all other wireless gadgets are connected just fine - including iphone - any idea

my ipad 4 has been connected to my wireless network using a netgear sky broadband router succesfully for a few weeks, suddenly can't connect, network is showing but no signal - all other wireless gadgets are connected just fine - including iphone - any ideas?

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

Mac osx 10.5.8 - Flash Player 10.3.183.90 - Firefox 3.6.22 - can not see properly some websites, videos or live TV-
I get a message that says do you want to install Flash Player 11.8? I click "yes" and not installed, I think it's because that version is not compatible with my operating system Mac OSX 10.5.8.
I'm going to flash website and only let me unburden the version that I have Flash Player 10.3.183.90, downloaded previous versions of flash but not running on my computer.
Can you help me please, what I can do? greetings and thanks!

Me voy a la web de flash y sólo me deja descargarme la versión que tengo Flash Player 10.3.183.90, descargo versiones anteriores de flash pero no se ejecutan en mi equipo.
Me podrían ayudar por favor, ¿qué puedo hacer? un saludo y gracias!

It seems to be accessible, yes. It's listed as
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\ShockwaveFlash.ShockwaveFlash.9\CLSID. I can give
you the data string if you like. I've really never edited my system
registry so I'm not sure what I'm doing.

Hi There Linc Davis,
Wow, you are the best.
Yip this is what the website looks like. Great job Linc Davis.
Not surprised that the "Shop" tab is missing. Darn.
Well can you try to access it's "sister" website: astralmusic.com and astralmusicshop.com?
Since you are awesome with the "Flash" can you investigate if this website has a issue withis this "Flash" too?
Please Linc Davis

After update to 4 I can't login on some website (loop back) or missing web parts

I deleted the cookies.sqlite, but I still cannot' login into those sites.

Windows laptops can't connect to Macbook Pro shared internet when WEP security is on

As the title states, my Windows laptops can't connect to Macbook Pro shared internet when WEP security is on. My iPhone has no problem asking for the password when I try to access the shared internet my MacBook Pro on Mountain Lion is sending, but my Samsung Slate on Windows 8 sees the network and only succeeds in connecting when no password is required. When security is on, it just tries for a moment and says it can't connect to the network without ever prompting me for the password. The same thing occurs on my Asus Netbook running Windows XP. Since all the reviews about OS X's internet sharing mentions "any wifi device" can access it, I haven't assumed it's only compatible with Apple products. I want my MacBook Pro to save me from needing an external router.

I would post a new question, outline the specific problem you are having and skip all the extra. Outline any steps you have taken already to try and solve the problem. Post the question in the forum most likely to have followers who can answer your question. Give your topic a good title such as: My MacBook Pro cannot connect to my WEP-enabled PC.
Provide any hardware information that may be relevant such as the make and model of your router and method of connection - wired or wireless.
I'm no authority, but have you tried using WPA2/Personal on your PCs? This method is most compatible with Macs.
If the WEP password is a hexadecimal password then on the Mac you need to preceed the number with a $ sign or the hex digits, 0x.

AirPort Express- Difficulty joining 3rd-party network that is using WEP
