Cannot access certain web pages using ANY browser (when other systems can)

(As [BDAqua|http://discussions.apple.com/profile.jspa?userID=528118] noted, this issue may be separate from [that which Alexander Solo is experiencing|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1467311], though many aspects are the same or very similar. I've mostly copied my original post in that thread to this new one).
I'm having trouble accessing a handful of particular web pages/domains, from my Mac Mini G4, using Safari (latest), Firefox (latest), Camino, Opera, Mozilla, IE, OmniWeb... I've tried every browser I have. It's really a problem as I'm taking a course in Web App Development now where we need to be able to access a course site which uses the code we are learning... and I can't because the page just doesn't load. There are lots of other students in the program using Macs, even members of the course team... I'm the only one who can't load that page.
Anyway, a seemingly-random few sites just don't load for me, consistently... some of them are important to me, others not so, but one is critical and it's been driving me bonkers. It's not a router issue, since it doesn't matter where I'm plugged into the router and my wife's Dell notebook (Vista) accesses any of these pages (when she has it here). A friend of mine was also able to access them, both from his house and plugged into the same router as I was, at the same time (Dell notebook/XP Pro).
A few of the pages that won't load:
[https://telemat.open.ac.uk/ssl-logons/tt380mf/tt380_login.cfm]
(The course web page... other https pages at the Open University load fine, though, so it doesn't seem to be an https issue.)
http://www.hotmail.com quickly redirects twice, stopping at:
[http://login.live.com/?id=2] ... and then does nothing... I don't use Hotmail, but my wife sometimes tries to access it (or was trying) if she leaves her notebook at work.
I also can't load any page on the versiontracker website:
[http://www.versiontracker.com] ... that is really a drag for me.
There are a few, seemingly random, other sites that just don't load and haven't been loading for about a couple of months now. I don't know if I might have installed some bad app or something (I've checked and my system is negative for the DNSChanger trojan... not that I've ever visited pr0n sites... ).
The problem has persisted through re-boots of the system and the router. I've tried booting from a firewire backup drive (I believe that one was still pre-security-release 2008-002, but otherwise nearly the same) and the problem persisted in all browsers. I've tried terminating processes that I didn't think were necessary to be running. I've tried fixing permissions, running diagnostic/repair apps, anything and everything I could think of. When attempting to find a solution on Google, I found a number of other mainstream news sites and such which also didn't load (at all), even after several minutes, but I haven't ; and of course trying to find mention of the problem in a Google search yields waaay too many irrelevant hits to have yielded an answer. I'm starting to suspect malware, since the problem doesn't make any sense and, if a culprit wrote something to do this, in addition to the "random" sites, they might block certain sites where we might find answers. I found a few more sites which didn't load (news sites and such) when I was doing a run through what Google could come up with. One of significance was:
[CNET's news.com domain|http://www.news.com> ... Though I haven't had a chance to have another local user check, it seems to fit the pattern of the others (doesn't load in Safari or Firefox, etc) and doesn't load even if I use the IP address: [216.239.113.101|216.239.113.101]
In short: It sounds like just the same [problem Alexander Solo is having|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1467311], except that I can access the site he can't, so it's not a situation where we can say "technology x is running on these sites and our pre-Intel Macs don't like it."
In short, I've tried everything I could think of to troubleshoot this problem (drive utilities, searches for known malware, terminating unnecessary processes, re-starting my system and router... so any help or ideas would be most appreciated.

I should add something which may indicate that I'm experiencing two separate issues: when it comes to news.com, versiontracker.com and other sites I've been unable to access, it's never seemed to matter whether I try to access a particular page on the site or the site root.
In the case of my course website, however, I'm able to at least partially load the course chair's (more-or-less empty) "home page" at the site root. It may be that packets from other people trying to access the site are not following anything like the same route, but I really know very little about all that. I had anticipated being completed moving to Bristol (England) by now (most of the other students on this "correspondence" course are in England), but my Mac is still sitting in Frankfurt, Germany. In any case, what loads of the site root, loads verrrrry slowly. Following is output of an attempted "traceroute" to the IP (a second attempt followed the same pathway with similar results):

I'm no "IT-guy", so I'm not really sure how to interpret what's happening, but I'm *beginning to suspect* this could be *related (similar in some way) to [the issues some Mac users were having accessing the Crate and Barrel website*|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1400045&start=50&tst art=0] (before Crate and Barrel resolved things on their end).
I'm also beginning to suspect that the *versiontracker.com and news.com siteload issues are related* to each other as I've found I can get successful ping (0% loss) and traceroute results, even if neither site loads in my browsers.
Following is the *traceroute for versiontracker.com* (which I see, now, is also a CNet-hosted site):

Since my wife's (Vista) Dell notebook can access these sites from the same router (and I was able too for a while), I'm beginning to suspect that the issues may have started with my update to OS X 10.4.11 or the first security update. It has been quite a while since we've successfully been able load Hotmail (in any browser) on this machine. My smug "Mac guy" superiority is taking a serious hit with these issues...

  • Accessing certain web pages

    The computer is a Toshiba Satellite P205-6337 running Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit. I can't seem to access certain web pages. One example is I can go to AOl's Homepage with no issues, but the minute I click on anything from the sign-on log-in to an article on the page I get a windows explorer window that states, " Internet Explorer can not open the internet site http://www.aol.com/. And below it "Operation aborted." When I click on OK it then goes back to an Internet Explorer cannot display this page. Thanks in advance.

  • Having problems accessing certain web pages online.

    I have no problem going to web pages when I bypass the airport extreme. When I connect my G4 notebook to the airport extreme it does not allow me to go to certain web pages.

    I'm having the same issue too! I noticed it the night I installed Leopard, so I was thinking it was Mail and Safari 3 acting up. But tonight I unhooked the AEBS and was able to access my site and email just fine.
    I've tried resetting the AEBS several times, but it hasn't helped.

  • When I upgrade to FF 26 on my PC laptop, I am no longer able to open any web pages on any browser. Help

    Whenever I upgrade to FF 26 on my pc laptop I am no longer able to open any web pages on my laptop in any browser. If I reset my system to a previous date I am good to go. Any ideas on what may be going on or how to troubleshoot it? I am not a technical person - btw
    My connection to the internet still shows as connected, but I cannot open any web pages.
    thanks,

    Is this happening on a computer running Windows (you posted with as Mac)?
    If this is an issue on a Windows computer:
    It is possible that security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

    Hi Ahmed,
    ****Upgarde procedure keep the Old data and take you you to the New version *******
    This  is an Upgarde Procedure ,however  if you use the  --install command during the Upgarde Procedure ,it will wipeout the old data and NAM will be like a factory Installed and then it will upgarded to New Version.
    Follow the below link ,in the step 5:
    Step 5 Upgrade the NAM application software as follows:
    DON NOT USE THIS 
    root@localhost# upgrade ftp-url
    where ftp-url is the FTP location and name of the NAM software image file
    or
    USE THIS ONE
    root@localhost# upgrade ftp-url --install
    Note The --install keyword clears and recreates all of the NAM partitions; this action is similar to restoring the factory-default state. If you use the --install keyword, the previously stored reports and data (if any) will be lost.

  • Cannot access Adobe Story Free through any browser.

    Hi,
    I cannot log in to Adobe Story Free using any web browser on my home PC workstation, however I have no problems logging in to Adobe Story Free using any web browser on my work PC laptop or any other Mac or PC.
    So I suspect it's not an Adobe CC account issue, but rather a local issue with corrupted settings on my home PC...? I have tried deleting browsing history, cache, cookies etc. but problem still remains in all web browsers.
    I need urgent help to fix this please.

    I have also tried uninstalling and reinstalling the Adobe Flash player...didn't fix the problem.

    ...I can confirm that Flash Player Version 17.0.0.134 is installed successfully on Firefox (V37.0.1) IE (v10.0.9200.17267) & Chrome (v 41.0.2272.118 m)
    ...I can also confirm that "Adobe Flash" is enabled on story.adobe.com (as shown above)
    However I still can't get into Adobe Story.
    I can see this screen:
    Adobe Story | Scriptwriting software
    Then I click on Sign In which takes me to this page:
    Sign in - Adobe ID
    Then when I enter my Adobe CC username and password, the page just hangs (blank white) in Firefox & Chrome, & an error message in IE
    Edit: Here's something new. I can log into Adobe Story Free on Firefox only (using my work Adobe ID = [email protected]) but not using my home Adobe ID. Is there an account issue maybe after all? Still doesn't explain not working in Chrome or IE though.

  • Export PDF - I have purchased this for an annual subscription.  I can use it on my PC but on my Mac I cannot access the progrem to use it.  Why?  I can sign in but the only options I get are to buy a product or download a free 30 day trial.  What it this

    On my Mac I cannot access the Export PDF program which I have purchased and it does not want to download. What's the whole point?

    Hi stephena,
    Are you logging in directly to https://cloud.acrobat.com/export PDF via  web browser on your Mac? There's nothing to download with an ExportPDF subscription. It may be that you have Reader installed on your PC, and are accessing the service from there.
    You could also install Reader on your Mac, and then sign in to ExportPDF from there by clicking the Sign In link in the upper-right corner.

  • Cannot access certain web sites through Airport Extreme Base Station

    I use the old (round) Airport Extreme Base Station (AEBS). Approximately three weeks ago I could no longer connect to americanexpress.com or to Godaddy or their mail servers. About a week ago the Godaddy sites started working again, but the American Express sites are still not working.
    My current setup:
    - AEBS connected to Time Warner New York cable modem
    - Three Airport Express units - two connected to speakers, and one set up with WDS to provide Ethernet access to computer (PowerMac G5), which is in a separate room from cable modem
    - I also have an Airport card in my G5 to connect directly to the wireless network (but that doesn't solve any of my problems)
    I have tried resetting all the units, and have also tried running the network with all the Airport Express units turned off, none of which as allowed me to access American Express.
    I have the exact same problems with my work-issued Windows 2000 laptop when logged in to the wireless network.
    When I plug a computer directly in to the cable modem, I have no problem accessing any of the sites, which leads me to believe that the solution somehow lies with the AEBS - I just can't figure out what it is.
    Any help/suggestions are much appreciated.

    If you're having trouble with throughput performance or just connecting to some websites, try changing the MTU value, on your Mac, to 1492. (The default value is 1500.) To do so, you can use a utility, like Cocktail or via OS X's Terminal.
    MTU will vary with connection type. Cable and non-PPPoE, can use up to 1500, whereas PPPoE connections (WinPoet, RASPPPOE, Enternet, etc.) can only use up to 1492. For secure VPN connections (i.e., IPSec) use a MTU value less than 1500.
    The best value for MTU is that value just before the packets get fragmented. To test, use the Ping utility.
    OS X: ping -D -s 1472 www.dslreports.com
    WinXP: ping -f -l 1472 www.dslreports.com
    Reduce 1472 by 10 until you no longer get the “packet needs to be fragmented” error message. Then increase by 1 until you are 1 less from getting the same error message. Add 28 more to this (since your ping packet size, not including IP/ICMP header is 28 bytes). This will be your MaxMTU. (Note: If you can ping thru at 1472, stop, you’re done! Add 28 and your MaxMTU is 1500.)

  • I added a plugin and now cannot access Firefox web page

    I have lost access to Firefox webpage and pray for step 1 in how to once again regain access

    To avoid confusion.<br />
    Did you add a plugin (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) or installed a Firefox extension (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions)?
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Customizing+Firefox+with+add-ons
    In case of the latter, try to start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • How do i prevent my open web pages from being deleted when the system is being restarted

    windows 7
    how

    Do you mean pages that are reopened in tabs via session restore?
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore
    Make sure that you do not use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox.<br />
    If you use [[Clear Recent History]] to clear the 'Browsing History' when you close Firefox then restoring tabs from the last session ("Save & Quit" or "Show my windows and tabs from last time") doesn't work.

  • Generating slideshows that can be viewed using any browser

    I'm about to reach my wit's end with respect to using iPhoto to generate a slide show that can
    1) easily be viewed in all of the major browsers, and
    2) not be such a large file.
    At present, I am using iPhoto to generate a slide show. This is straight forward and simple BUT if you have several pictures, the output file gets very large very quickly. I was able to easily produce 5 separate slide shows with a minimum of muss and fuss.
    However, the various output files were quite large and attracted the attention of the persons responsible for managing our storage space. I was asked to take the iPhoto produced slide show and convert this to a Flash presentation. A conversion application (Any Video Converter) was recommended and I used this to generate a Flash presentation (the file extension is sfw).
    It should be noted that these presentations were generated on a MacBook Pro, copied to a flash drive, and converted to a sfw format on a Windows machine. The files were then returned to the original MacBook Pro using the same flash drive.
    At this point, using iWeb, I embedded the presentations on a web page using the appropriate snippet.
    Browsing the generated web pages using any Mac, I can see all of the Flash presentations.
    Browsing the generated web pages using any Windows based machine, I CANNOT see any of the Flash presentations.
    All of that leads to the following question:
    I'd like to generate slideshows using the photos I have gathered in iPhoto. However, given the problems I have experienced to date, it would seem that I should consider using something other than iPhoto to generate the slide shows. It is an absolute requirement that whatever I generate be viewable using any browser.
    Can someone recommend a product (or process) that uses (interacts) with iPhoto to generate a variety of presentations that can be viewed using any browser?
    Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Do you have a MobileMe account? If so create a MMe gallery in iPhoto with the movies and publish. Then any browser will be able to view the slideshow movies. This gallery is an example: Movie Gallery
    HOWEVER, be sure that your movies do not have a blank first frame so it doesn't look like mine does. I'm in the process of removing those blank frames. But you can see the concept.

  • I cannot open my iWeb site with any browser

    I have had an iWeb site which has been live for about a month. It has been working perfectly. It still appears to be working well within iWeb. I can make changes and publish changes.
    When I now search the internet using any browser, it says
    [Safari] can't open the page "http://www.mydomain.com" because the server where this page is located isn't responding.
    I have checked my .mac account and everything seems to be fully functional. Why has my site suddenly disappeared off the internet?

    HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    Try deleting thesee files.
    com.apple.mobileme.configuration
    com.apple.mobilemesyncclient
    Here's the path: ~/Library/Caches/
    Move those files to the Trash and retart your Mac.
    Try to access your site. If that didn't help...
    With iWeb open from the Menu Bar click File/Visit Published site
    Then go to File/Publish Entire Site to MobileMe and see if that helps...
    If not more help here. http://web.me.com/YourMobileMeAccount/
    Also, In your Finder: Go/ iDisk / My iDisk which will mount your iDisk on your Desktop if it is't alerady there. Open your iDisk then go to the iDisk/ Web / Sites folder to see if your website folder is there along with an index.html file.
    You can read posts from iWeb users on Facebook also.

  • IE can display certain web pages.

    Hi
    IE 11 - when I try accessing certain web pages I get the following message:
    Oops! Internet Explorer could not connect to.....
    Try reloading: 
    It only happens when I am using my OPTUS Service - USB Modem (3G).I have treid using other providers Telstra & TPG and they work fine.
    OPTUS say it's because I am on 3G and said I need to upgrade to a 4G modem. It worked fine until a week ago.
    I really do not understand internet - can anyone advise if what OPTUS are suggesting is the issue or could it be something else?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    As S Guna suggested, this might be caused by DNS issue.
    We may take a try with the following command:
    ipconfig /flushdns
    ipconfig /registerdns
    Type them in command line with admin rights.
