Unable to access certain web servers after creating time capsule network

Since creating a home network with Time Capsule, there are certain web sites or servers that I am unable to connect to. The browser attempts to connect, but always gets timed out.
One site, for example is a link from my fantasy football homepage: football30.myfantasyleague.com
I have no trouble with any other site, and am able to get to the address above if I connect my Mac directly with the Cable Modem, thus bypassing the time capsule network. Also, if I use my old wireless router, I am able to access the address without problem. I am also able to ping the address on my time capsule network,
I've tried accessing this site on multiple computers (both mac and pc) through my home network and using multiple browsers (Firefox, Safari, and IE). So the problem must lie with some time capsule setting (some kind of default firewall). However, I cannot find any setting on Time Capsule or Airport utilities where I could make any adjustments or view any prohibited site access.
Does anybody know why this particular site is constantly blocked when I use the Time Capsule as my router?

hamish,
Welcome to the Apple Discussion!
I'm wondering if either or both Airport Utility & Network Prefs have proper DNS server settings. Try this
Launch Airport Utility.
Select TC on left.
Click "Manual Setup".
Select "Internet" from the toolbar above.
What's listed for "DNS Server(s):"?
Try putting in these servers from OpenDNS [http://www.opendns.com>
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Click "Update".
Your TC will restart with the new settings.
Next, launch System Prefs --> Network Prefs.
Select the service you usually connect with on the left (Airport or Ethernet).
Then click, "Advance..."
Click the "DNS" tab.
What's listed for "DNS Server(s):"?
Usually "10.0.1.1" will be listed first in gray. This refers back to the settings in the Airport Utility.
Nevertheless, it doesn't hurt to add the DNS servers noted above here as well.
Click "OK" then click "Apply".
Now see if you can access those websites again.
Cheers!

  • HT1338 unable to access certain websites

    Unable to access certain websites using safari browser.  any ideas!!!!

    One of the first things you want to try is if you can get to these same sites on TMG itself. Create an Access rule that allows HTTP and HTTPS from Localhost (TMGs network adapter) to Anywhere (it's under Computer Sets). Apply it and then make sure that IE
    is not set to use anything for a proxy. Clear all the boxes. Can you browse these sites? If not then your proxy clients will not be able to. Open a command prompt and use nslookup to see if TMG is resolving the sites. Remember that proxy clients rely on TMG
    to do the name resolution for them. If it is not working then you will have a problem.

  • 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.

    You use Internet Explorer 7 still?

  • I am unable to register my debit card after creating my apple ID. Whenever i click enter after filling all the debit card details, it shows that, "your payement method has been declined". Please help me people, why is it so.?

    I am unable to register my debit card after creating my apple ID. Whenever i click "continue" after filling all the debit card details, it shows that, "Your payement method has been declined". Please help me people, why is it so.? Also, i would ike to tell that my bank is, Union Bank Of India and it facilitates the auto conversion, rupee to dollar.. I think there is a different problem. Please help me guys.!!

    The card must be issued in the same country as the store you are trying to use. If you're trying to sign up for the US Apple Store, it must be a US card with a US billing address. If you're trying to sign up in India, it must be an Indian card with an Indian billing address.
    Apple will run a small charge, which will be credited back, to make sure the card is valid. If it is a debit card and you do not have enough in the account to cover the authorization, it will be declined.
    It is possible the currency conversion you mentioned may be causing a problem. Contact the issuing bank if you are sure you have enough in the account and you are signing up for the correct store.

  • Can i get the time capsule to automatically back up my file from my Mac Book Air but have certain files which are only stored on the time capsule and not the computer? Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?

    You can, but how are you going to back up those other files?  When (not if) your Time Capsule fails, you risk losing them.  See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.
    Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?
    Not sure what you mean.  You have to connect a computer, either via Ethernet cable or wirelessly, to read or write to the disk. 

  • After installing Time Capsule internet connection slow

    Since I installed Time Capsule on my Mac, my internet connection started acting up. The web browsing is VERY SLOW, and applications that are web-based no longer work properly. For instance, I have an EyeFi Wireless Explore SD card and the related EyeFi Manager software that allows me to wirelessly transfer my photos on the eyefi card to the eyefi website, as well as my photo service (Kodak Gallery or Flickr) and also transfers the photos to my Mac. Before I set up my Time Capsule, the eyefi system worked flawlessly. Now the uploads hang up and do not complete. I also have very slow progress trying to use my webmail, or loading webpages in general. I use the Safari browser.
    My Time Capsule is set up as a separate wireless network, so I access the internet thru my original home wireless network. Is anyone having the same issues after installing Time Capsule, and does anyone have a solution?

    Try doing a Safe Mode reboot by holding down the Shift key when you hear the start-up tone. When the progress bar appears you can release the key. A Safe Reboot will clear some of the caches, it's possible one became corrupt. If that doesn't work do both a SMC and PRAM reset, you may need to do each 2-3x.
    SMC RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and all peripherals.
    Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds.
    Release the power button.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer.
    PRAM RESET
    Shut down the computer.
    Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
    Turn on the computer.
    Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
    Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
    Release the keys.

  • How do I access the data saved on my time capsule?  for example, if i try to view my photos it tells me that i have 2.4gb of photos and gives me the option to "view with iPhoto"....but when i click on "view with iPhoto" nothing happens...  thanks!

    how do i access the data stored on my time capsule?  for example, if i try to view a photo, i get the option to "view with iphoto" but when i click on "view with iphoto" nothing happens.  i'm having similar trouble openning up movies, music, etc.  it appears as though the files exist / saved on the time capsule (because i can see how much storage they consume), but i can't open them.  thanks!

    Unfortunately, Apple removed the feature to "browse backups" in Time Machine backups of iPhoto a few years ago.
    You have to restore the entire iPhoto library to a separate location to be able to "see" it, and then choose the specific images that you want use.
    For complete details, see #15 in Pondini's excellent support document Time Machine -- FAQ.  Check the information in the pink box there.

  • Can Apple TV access movies that are stored in Time Capsule?

    Can Apple TV access movies that are stored in Time Capsule?

    The Apple TV looks for iTunes, which is likely on your computer.
    I know of no way to "tell" the Apple TV to look for anything. It is pre-programmed to look for iTunes, iPhoto, etc.

  • Unable to access certain websites and game servers when using E1500

    I've been having a strange intermitent problem with my E1500 wireless router.  When we first bought and installed it everything was working well with no known problems.  After several months no one using the router was able to access certain websites as well as a game server that we play on.  No one had made any changes to the router settings and I assumed at first that it was an ISP problem.  After talking with our ISP tech support they finally suggested plugging my PC directly into the modem rather then the router.  I did and found that the websites and servers that previously wouldn't connect while using the router were now reachable.  As I said not myself or anyone else had made any changes to the router settings since installation.  I decided that just in case someone unauthorized had made changes to simply revert the router to factory settings and reinstall the software.  After doing this I found that I could again reach the websites and servers that I previously could not.  So time went on with no problems until a few months later when the same websites and servers were again unreachable by anyone on our router.  I again reset the router to factory settings and changed passwords as a precaution, but this time the websites and servers were unreachable even though I had just reset the router.  I'm a little confounded as to what could possibly be causing this.  I have had family and friends who live elsewhere use the websites and servers during all of my troubles, so I'm certain that they were not simply down.  I'd greatly appreciate any and all help. 
    A few of the places that are unreachable to me are as follows:
    http://wiki.project1999.org
    http://www.project1999.org
    http://chaoslife.findchaos.com

    Perhaps, you could flash or update the firmware to the latest. Reset and reconfigure the router. You can download firmware here http://support.linksys.com/en-us/support/routers/E1500.

  • Since switching to Firefox 4 I'm unable to access a web page by pressing "Enter" after typing the url in the address bar; I now have to click on the bar; how do I change things so that I can go back to a keyboard shortcut?

    I use keyboard shortcuts whenever possible but since updating to Firefox 4 I can no longer access a web page simply by pressing "Enter" after typing the url in the address bar. Can I get back to this useful shortcut somehow and avoid having to fiddle with a mouse?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions 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.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • After updating to 10.4.11 unable to access certain site.

    Since I updated to 10.4.11 I am unable to access the site: www.wdwinfo.com. My wife would listen to a podcast hosted by the site. iTunes just keeps spinning away that it's looking. I tried all four browsers on my machine to see if I could reach the site (Safari, Camino, Firefox and Flock). I cleaned all caches and histories. I am able to get to the site on my ipod touch on my neighbours open wifi. I can even ping the site on my machine and get a response but as far as my browsers and iTunes are concerned they just sit there waiting to connect. I called my ISP and they can get the site no problem. I tried another computer in the building that is with the same provider and they have no problem. All other websites and podcasts work fine.
    I'm running 10.4.11 on an 1.83GHz Intel iMac.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Mark

    The 216.167.116.52 address worked for about an hour while I downloaded the podcasts and then stopped working. I entered the DNS Server number you mentioned in the network settings but I'm still back to no access.
    The setup I am working with is ExpressVu TV/Internet for condos. The phone company (Bell) setup a main frame in the building and provide my TV and internet over the same cable. The motorola box set top box had a modem installed into it when they were setting it up. Ethernet from it to my Mac. In my network setting it shows that there is a router in the path. Would the router trump me putting in the DNS numbers? I'm guessing the router is sitting at the mainframe in the building.
