Unable to access a particular web site via FOS

This problem started a week or so ago. Using different computers (Windows or MAC) I am not able to access the web site www.vibeconference.com which is using IP Address 74.208.213.17 using any of several browsers, Explorer, Firefox, Safari. In addition, I am not able to ping the url or IP address, I just get timeouts.
All of the above occurs when I use a computer connected to my FIOS Service. I can access this url just fine using my Cell Phone which uses Verizon Wireless or my wife's using AT&T Wireless
I have tried using OpenDNS's DNS Servers, same problem. I am baffled by the fact that it only happens with this one web site (that I know of).
I have power cycled my router, checked its settings, no luck.
Any ideas?

OK, I figured out how to use a Free Web Proxy and am able to navigate to the web site. I am still baffled by what is causing the block but I guess that is the hosting companies issue or some issue between them and Verizon. I also left my router off overnight so that I would get a different IP address which I did. So it is not my particular IP address which is getting blocked but probably a range belonging to Verizon.

Tracking Time on a particular Web Site

Several people in my house share the same laptop. I would like to see how long some one was on a particular web site. Can I look at that in some file on my mac? I have looked through Safari and can't find anywhere to find that information. Maybe in Terminal?

Hi Bernie,
Safari keeps track of the date and time when website are downloaded (viewed) in its history. It has no way of knowing how long you view the site but will give you the date and time of the next site you view which could give you an idea. The date of access is stored within its history plist file (~/Library/Safari/History.plist).
If you open this up and look under root>WebHistoryDates>Item#>'Last Visited Date' (item number being the most recently visited site) you will get the time of the visit in absolute seconds. Absolute seconds are the number of seconds that have passed since Midnight January 1st 2001. Random I know. Anyways if you say access a video on youtube at 300,000,000.0 and then accessed your email at 3000,000,060.0 you could determine that you viewed the youtube site for 1 min sometime in June of 2010.
There are programs which will instantly calculate the date and time for you from these numbers but for your purposes it seems you just need to subtract the 2 to get number of seconds passed.
Hope this helps.
edit: be sure you don't change anything in the plist file, nor have it open when safari is running, to prevent any corruption.

Can't access a school web site that I've used for years-can't log in with user and password. All other bookmarks are fine-tried several things including re-install-Other browsers are O.K.

I have an iMac-have used Firefox exclusively for years. I can't access a school web site-can't get past the log in with user ID and password. Screen stays at log in screen. Tried clearing history-tried uninstall and re-install. All other web sites/bookmarks work fine. Thanks in advance.

Try clearing the cache and deleting cookies for the site, this can sometimes resolve problems accessing sites that used to work. See [[how to clear the cache]] and [[deleting cookies]] for details.

Unable to access a windows 7 Workstation via RDP

Hi,
I have a windows 7 Pro SP1 workstation that I’m unable to access from any other machine via RDP...
This is a domain environment.
The machine in question is 100% up to date. (WSUS)
It's running an up-to-date anti-virus solution and has been scanned. (Panda cloud) (No firewall)
This is on a local network, no router involved.
Can ping the machine, can see network shares.
Checked that it's listening on the correct port.
Necessary services are running and are starting correctly.
Configured RDP correctly and tried different configurations (with and without NLA and adding/removing users)
This machine seems to be able to RDP into other machines, it just wont accept any sessions.
Assigning the necessary exclusions in firewall - no effect
Firewall is disabled by GPO and I have stopped the service - no effect.
Deleted the computer certificate - no effect.
uninstalled the RDP 8 update - no effect
Tried using both the IP and hostname - no difference
I'm completely out of ideas, no other machine I tested with is having this issue and all the domain machines are running same AV and same GPO's are applied.
Re-installation is not an option.
Below is the error - very unhelpful.
Kind Regards,
Stephen

I can access my employers web site, but when i try to access the employees section of the web site it says that i need netscape, can someone help

Hi, My employer has a web site & as a part of the service to the employees, the employees can access personal details through the web site. I can access my employers web site not a problem, BUT - when i try to access the employees part of the web site it tells me "This browser is not supported.
You must be running Netscape 7.1 or greater."
Can someone please help?

It is possible that the server gets confused by the user agent that is modified by your Ubuntu distribution and adds Ubuntu/10.10 (maverick)
Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-AU; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101206 Ubuntu/10.10 (maverick) Firefox/3.6.13
You can try to reset the pref general.useragent.extra.* that add that part.<br />

Help - can't access my staging web site

Hello
A while back I wrote in seeking advice re: losing my access to a staging web site - Camelot kindly wrote the following, which I did but it didn't work...
"Provided you're an admin on your system the easiest way is to open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app and run the command:
sudo echo "11.11.111.111 www.ekekekek.com" >> /etc/hosts
exactly as written (changing the IP address if you need to). This command uses sudo to elevate your privileges. You'll be asked to authenticate by typing in your password (which won't be visible), then it'll run the 'echo' command which simply prints whatever's within the quotes and appends it to the file /etc/hosts. "
Very helpful, but it didn't give me access to my staging site...last week my mac G5 crashed and had a kernel panic - spent about 1 1/2 days on the phone with half a dozen Apple techs trying to fix - it's fixed but now for whatever reason I can't access my Staging web site through any browser, though our live site is OK from any browser.
So what can I do to again have access to the staging site? Are there more steps I should know in addition to Camelot's directions? What?
I'm not a techy at all but designer so the more specific, very much appreciated.
Thanks very much
Kent

OK so I figured out that I was supposed to go to
Terminal/file/New Command to type in Camelot's code -
which I did, got the password prompt, wrote it, it
accepted it and came back with this: (the IP and name
below, I've changed for this post only)
"12.12.121.271 www.mycertainname.com">>/etc/hosts
[Process completed]
Hmm. That looks a little odd to me. First off, did you include the "sudo echo" part at the beginning from Camelot's post? I'm also a little curious about the "[process completed]" part. Usually, I come straight back to the prompt.
But when I now go to type in my staging site's name
in the browser, I get another web site which has the
same name, still can't access this site of mine.
I don't give my staging sites the same names, so I'm not sure how that would work if it had the same name as another site. For example, if I have a domain called "mydomain.com," the real web server would be "www.mydomain.com" and my staging server would be
something like "staging.mydomain.com." That way, if I want to look at the real site, I type in one address. I type in the other if I want the staging server. You can't (easily) have the same text address (www.mydomain.com) resolve to different IP addresses. That requires some special DNS tricks that are beyond the abilities of the /etc/hosts file.
At this point, re-run this Terminal command and post the results:
<pre class="command">cat /etc/hosts</pre>Also, I can't figure out how to do this from the Network Utility, but you can check and see where your Mac is getting its lookup information by using another Terminal program called lookupd. You can also use it to flush the DNS cache, in case that's what's causing it to go to the other site. To flush the cache, type this in the Terminal at the prompt:
<pre class="command">sudo lookupd -flushcache</pre>You should just get the prompt back when it's done. There's no feedback.
To check where your Mac is getting its lookups, you use lookupd in an interactive mode. First, you type:
<pre class="command">lookupd -d</pre>At the prompt in the Terminal window. Then you'll get a few lines of text and a ">" prompt. Type "hostWithName", then a space and your host's name, so it looks like this:
<pre class="command">> hostWithName: www.apple.com</pre>When you hit the enter key, it'll do the lookup and give you a few lines information:
<pre class="command">Dictionary: "DNS: host www.apple.com.akadns.net"
lookup_DNSdomain: apple.com.akadns.net
lookup_DNSserver: 208.67.222.222
lookup_DNS_time_tolive: 58
lookup_DNStimestamp: 1167796142
lookupagent: DNSAgent
lookup_infosystem: DNS
interface: 4
ip_address: 17.112.152.32
name: www.apple.com.akadns.net www.apple.com
+ Category: host
+ Time to live: 43200
+ Age: 0 (expires in 43200 seconds)
+ Negative: No
+ Cache hits: 0
+ Retain count: 4</pre>Notice how it mentions DNS servers in several places, including "DNSAgent". That meant it used the DNS server at 208.67.222.222 to find the address for www.apple.com. Now, if I try it with a staging server (hosted on my iMac in this case), see what happens:
<pre class="command">> hostWithName: test.mydomain.com
Dictionary: "FF: host test.mydomain.com"
lookupagent: FFAgent
lookupvalidation: /etc/hosts 2 1166756640
ip_address: 127.0.0.1
name: test.mydomain.com
+ Category: host
+ Time to live: 43200
+ Age: 0 (expires in 43200 seconds)
+ Negative: No
+ Cache hits: 0
+ Retain count: 3</pre>Now, see how it says it looked it up using the FFAgent (Flat File), and even says it got it from /etc/hosts? If you're seeing anything except for FFAgent, then it's not looking in /etc/hosts for the info. There are ways to change the lookup order lookupd uses, but I'm pretty certain it was already set to use the flat files before DNS way before Panther.
To quit the lookupd program, just type "quit" at the prompt.

Firefox can't access a specific web site. WHY?

"I have already posted that in 10.4 Forum but the problem is in Leopard"
At home and office I can't access a specific web site with Firefox.
I have tried everything I was able to: cleared cache, deleted cookies, deleted firefox prefs, flushed DNS, tried to log with IP instead of domain, created a new user account in Mac OS, repaired permissions, but nothing happens!
The strange thing is I can access the web site trough a proxy. And I don't have a firewall or similar, my Mac is conected directly to the web. And the problem is the same in any browser I use, like Safari or Firefox or Camino.
Anyone has any idea about what is causing my problem?
Just in case, the site is demonoid.com.
PS: Thanks BDAqua to all support on the other thread.

demonoid.com
I feel like a dork. Maybe next time I'll read the post better.
Okay, I went to that site and it works fine for me.

No proxies, AV, firewalls or anything. The internet cable is pluged into this Mac.
The problem began 2 weeks ago. When I loaded the page the browser shows status done at the bottom of the window, and at the address bar I see the icon of the web site nd the address but nothing is shown. The source code for that page also is in blank.
I am now using firefox 3 and still have the problem. Safari is up to date with no enhancers. I uninstall all extensions from Firefox also.
Hard to believe, hum?

How do I get Safari to open first to a particular web site?

How do I get Safari to open first to a particular web site?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You have to choose that site as the homepage. To do that, open Safari, go to Safari menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences > General, and change the homepage by the one you want, so every time you open Safari, that website will show

When switching away from a particular web site, the audio often continues.

When switching away from an eagle cam web site, the audio often continues after leaving the site or will stop then restart later.
Only happens from this one web site but occurs on two different computers using Firefox browser but not others. This seemed to start with Firefox 10 and continues with FF 11. I have watched this particular web site off and on for a year and never had this experience with the audio restarting after leaving the site.
This is the only site I have found where this happens and it happens only with FF, not IE or Chrome. I also learned that a friend has the same problem on the same site on her computer.
Any help resolving this is appreciated.

Sounds like a problem with the plugin-container process that doesn't stop properly and keeps playing the sound.

Hi ,
I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit. You should look at the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting-extensions-themes Extensions and Themes troubleshooting guide ] and the [[Troubleshooting plugins]] article as well.
There is also some information in [[Firefox cannot load websites but other programs can]] and [[Cannot connect after upgrading Firefox]] that might be helpful as well.
Finally, since you are having trouble with outlook and your anti-virus program your issue may be because you've been hit with some [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Is%20my%20Firefox%20problem%20a%20result%20of%20malware?s=malware&r=0&e=sph&as=s#w_how-do-i-get-rid-of-malware Malware].
Hopefully this helps!

No. Works fine for me.
Are you at work, and does your network restrict access to certain sites?
Try a different browser.
Try restarting Safari.
Try restarting your Mac.

Problem accessing just one web site. No other site...

I am having problems today connecting to just one website which I use daily.
I get the "internet explorer can not display the webpage" message and the dropdown gives the usual possibilities.
If I put the web address into "isitdownforeveryone or just me" then that reports the site up and running.
I cleared all temp files/cookies, ran a full disk clean and cleaned all in IE that was cleanable. I did the ipconfig /flush DNS command and netstop and net start DNS cache commands and still no joy.
While I kept trying I accidently clicked on the "diagnose problems" on IE failed to display page message and that said something like that "the host server at address 290.xxx.xxx etc had been found but fails to respond when pinged" and that resetting the network can fix problems. I then reset the BT Home Hub and low and behold I had instant access to the problem site. That was OK for the rest of the time the PC was on.
This evening it has done exactly the same (just this one particular site down) and yet resetting the router has again fixed the issue.
Why is this happening all of a sudden and why just seemingly one site affected ? Is it something I should contact BT over ?
I run Vista and IE9.
thanks

Thanks for all the replies folks...
I haven't tried another browser (I like IE and didn't want to install something I don't really want) but I could do to aid trobleshooting if needed (I use Acronis so can roll back).
Anyhow after all the trouble yesterday I unplugged the HH rather than doing a "soft" reset via the button. The site that was problematic is at the moment OK.
If a site is unobtainable for whatever reason why does a reset of the HH "find" a path to the site only for it to fail again.
I see others have had similar issues although Bing.com is one I do use and that has been fine for me.
Whether this is related or not I have no idea but after all the resetting of the HH i thought I would just try Speedtest.net to make sure my line profile hadn't suffered. The "ping" value was a little higher than normal but what was was odd was that the server automatically chosen to run the test was at the other end of the country rather than more local ones.
