Failing to load webpages when connected at work (works fine else were)

I have a PowerBook G4 that I moved between work and other locations. I have never had any issues before, but now I am getting a very strange issue in Safari (1.3.2). If I enter the domain name of the site (say www.apple.com) it fails to ever connect, but if I put in just an IP address it is fine. This caused me to think "Hurm...DNS lookups are failing for some reason". But this seems to not be the case. I can open up terminal type "telnet www.apple.com 80" and then "GET index.html" and it works just fine. So DNS looks ups are atleast working Terminal. Also, this only occurs when I am at work. We have no other machines on the network that experience this problem. All other machines there are just fine.
Any ideas?
PowerBook G4   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

I will say that Linksys Routers are notorious for being subpar. My suggestions would be to disconnect the router and cable modem and turn off the computer (and everything).
Then, wait fifteen minutes.
Then, turn on the cable modem. Let it go through all its blinky phases, then turn on the router. Wait at least three minutes for ole' cranky to wake up. Now turn on your Mac.
This is what you have to do when a router forms a bad DHCP client lease.
An alternate first step would be to manually enter your own IP address that's the same everything except make up a 200 range number and throw it in for Z on the equation before .*..Z.
E.G.: if your DHCP address is 192.168.3.43, make up your own ending and manually enter it. 192.168.43.200. Set the router as x.x.x.1 (e.g. 192.168.43.1) and SubNet as 255.255.255.0

  • Cannot Load Webpages when connected thru router, works fine without router

    I just purchased an imac (intel duo) and have not been able to surf the web when it is connected to my Cable Modem thru a Linksys Wired Router. All the WinXP systems on the same network (wired or wireless) have no problems. I can get the dashboard widgets and do ping/trace/etc when connected thru the router. The problem is that web pages are very slow to load, if at all. Most pages, including apple.com, partially load and then freeze Safari. Turning off the imac firewall in systems preferences or clearing Safari cache made no difference. When I connect the imac to the cable modem directly, with imac firewall on and locked down, I have no problem surfing or accessing features such as the Itunes store. Any guidance would be appreciated.

  • Document Failed to Load Error When Scanning a PDF

    Every time I try to scan a document as a Pdf, I get a failed to load message.   The scanner works fine if I use the JPEG setting.  I've tried reloading Adobe Acrobat, but it doesn't solve the problem.
    Any suggetions? 

    The PDF file does not appear to be saved or properly scanned.  Normally, the scan ends and a preview appears in a window that can be saved.  In the case of PDF, the preview doesn't appear.  It's as if the document has not been scanned at all.  
    If I try to scan a document using a JPEG setting everything works fine.   That is the preview document appears, which can then be saved. 
    Very perplexing.

  • Does "erase when connecting" really work?

    A few weeks ago, my MacBookPro got stolen :-((
    Of course, I had registered it with 'Find My iPhone', and, immediately after it got stolen , I requested in 'Find my iPhone' an erase as soon as it would connect to the internet.
    However, so far, iCloud reports that it has not yet connected to the internet.
    So I was wondering, whether that feature actually works, or whether it is possible to circumvent the erase.
    Is it possible to change the serial number of a Macbook ?
    Or is it possible to connect it to the internet such that Apple cannot erase it?
    Best regards,
    Gabriel.

    Hi GabrielZ,
    Very sorry to hear you had your macbook pro stolen !
    All I can say is that I heard the "erase when connected" Does Work !
    Good luck with everything

  • Why won't Firefox automatically show new Hotmail emails or easilly down load attachments when it was working a week ago?

    Why won't Firefox automatically show new Hotmail emails or easily down load attachments when it was working a week ago?

    Hotmail has been having a few hiccups lately I'm afraid.
    If you don't see any emails when you log in, or nothing appears after some time, click in the middle of the grey bar on the left which has the word "'''Inbox'''" in it. This usually causes them to magically appear for some strange reason.
    I've read on on a few blogs that Microsoft is working on the problem, but don't hold your breath.<br><br>

    Never mind, problem solved.  When I retunred to the Network tab the message had changed to "connected, no IP address" so I got that from the WiFi tab and configured the Ethernet manually.  Have a nice day @:-)#

  • HI my network connections is working fine but it doesnt allow me to update software or access apple store. Any suggestions?

    HI my network connections is working fine but it doesnt allow me to update software or access apple store. Any suggestions?

    Then it simply was NOT Brand New. Doesn't matter what the box looked like when you got it or if you went through the setup pages when you first turned it on. If it is registered to some other Apple ID then someone else had originally registered it and locked it to there ID.
    Type in the serial number of the system into this page.

    And see when it was originally registered.
    Then send it back to Amazon as Used.

    So I bought a brand new macbook from Amazon, and it came factory sealed (Not my first time buying a macbook, last one I bought was from Apple directly) but after I got this, I put in my apple I.D. and it told me there were updates available. I told it to go ahead and update, and it updated about half of the list, but the essential stuff (pages, notes, etc) it says "This software was installed using another Apple I.D. Please logon with that I.D. to install the software."  I'm a bit baffled by this as it is a brand new mac and so I don't know why anyone else's I.D. would be logged into this mac.  I'm not really worried about it though, as I don't really need to update my pages, etc, as I like what I have, but I'd love for this stupid "updates availble" popup to stop popping up every freaking day!!!
    Anyone have any suggestions on finding out how to either gain access to update, or get rid of that "other" i.d. that is somehow associated with my brand new macbook?
    I'm running OSX 10.9 if that is of any consequence.

    I try to open Acrobat I get a message that I need to register the product. I click on register and after about a minute, I'm told that I don't have an internet connection. My internet connection is working fine. In fact I registered Acrobat Pro XI using my account, but the program itself will not recognize it or allow me to use the software. What do I do?

    If you already registered, then there is no point to trying to do so again. Simply dismiss the dialog.

  • Failed to load TemplateStream when called from API, but OK in Workbench

    I am getting a "Failed to load TemplateStream for FormQuery" error when I invoke a simple process using the Java API.  When I invoke the same process from WorkBench it's fine.  I am using the FormsService in ES 8.2 turnkey installation.  The operation is "renderPDFForm".  Content Root URI is set to repository:// and Form to Render is set to /CANS_ASP/CANS_ASP.pdf, which is in the repository.  Why would this work when invoked by way of right clicking in WorkBench, but not work when the process is invoked by the Java API?
    Here's the whole error:
    2009-08-25 20:31:23,109 ERROR [com.adobe.workflow.AWS] An exception was thrown with name com.adobe.livecycle.formsservice.exception.RenderFormException message:Failed to load TemplateStream for FormQuery=/CANS_ASP/CANS_ASP.pdf from location URI =repository://. while invoking service FormsService and operation renderPDFForm and no fault routes were found to be configured.
    Thanks.
    Jared

    This problem is not solved, but I have a workaround.  I have gotten it working by avoiding the repository and specifying the form location from the file system.  This works:
    Content Root URI: file:///C:\\
    Form to Render: CANS_ASP.pdf
    In case it wasn't clear, I'm not using a FormServiceClient object.  I'm invoking an orchestration using a ServiceClient.  The Content Root URI and Form To Render are specified in the properties of my renderPDFForm component in Workbench.  I'm able to move ahead with development using this workaround for now, but the question remains about why repository:// does not work when my orchestration is invoked using the Java API but it works fine when tested from WorkBench.

  • I am getting an unable to connect error messagen when I start the browser. The setting is set to "no proxy" and my internet connection is working fine. What can I do to fix this?

    I opened up my firefox browser yesterday and it crashed. Since then I get an error message that says "unable to connect" every time I try to load the browser. The setting is set to "no proxy" So it should be connecting. My internet explorer browser is working fine. So I know it is not my internet connection. What can I do to make the firefox browser work again?
