Unable to load certain website (not really a safari problem)

As the subject says, this isn't a Safari problem but instead a general issue I have run into, so perhaps this is not the proper forum for it. But I have always received good help here before so I figured I would give it a shot.
I have recently (for about the past week and a half or so) been unable to load macosxhints.com which I previously had visited daily. I am able to access it from any other computer other than my own. I am behind a Linksys WRT54G router but other computers behind the router are able to access the site. After recalling that the site is now run by macworld I tried their site macworld.com and am unable to access that as well. I have manually configured my connection through the Airport so as to be able to consistently run port forwarding services such as remote desktop.
I am able to use the IP address 129.250.134.26 to partially load the front page, but most images are not loaded and it is painfully slow. I have tried an nslookup from my machine and it times out. I have absolutely no clue what to do beyond this point, but seeing as that website is part of my daily routine, it is quite annoying to be forced to go without it. Hopefully someone who knows a lot more than I do about how this stuff works can share some insight with me and solve this issue. Thank you.

What you actually want to be looking at is not the Static DNS but the DNS listings under the Status section. You should see it in a toolbar on the top of the website in the following order:
Setup Wireless Security Access Restrictions Applications & Gaming Administration Status
Click on that and you should see a bunch of things listed. At the bottom the list should be similar to this:
Login Type: Automatic Configuration - DHCP
IP Address:
Subnet Mask:
Default Gateway:
DNS 1:
DNS 2:
DNS 3:
MTU: 1500
As far as your router being connected differently than your computer, that is fine. What happens is your router is connecting to the outside world using PPPoE and your computer is connecting to your router using DHCP.

I'm unable to load certain websites across all browsers on a MacBook Pro

Suddenly I'm unable to load certain websites (sundancechannel.fr, sundancechannel.tw, etc.) across all browsers—Safari, Firefox, Chrome—on my new MacBook Pro. Other computers on the same wifi can access those same sites fine.
I either get a won't connect to server message or a blank page.
Any idea what's going on?
I've thus far tried restarting the connection, clearing my cache, restarting the computer, deleting my history, and even getting in touch with the site owners.

Cambrey,
that HTML content shows that there’s no content at that Web site — it will only show the heading “301 Moved Permanently” and the single line “nginx/1.2.6”. I suspect that they might have wanted to include a redirection directive in that document, but for some reason, they didn’t. Your browsers are behaving as they ought to do with this Web site.
Have you considered trying www.sundancechannel.fr in your browsers instead of sundancechannel.fr?

Unable to load certain websites after 10.5.3 upgrade

Since upgrading to 10.5 .3, I haven't been able to load a few websites using either Safari, Camino or Firefox. Error message is "Safari can’t open the page “http:///” because it can’t find the server “www.politico.com”.
Safari Activity Window has these items:
file:///Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/
file:///Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/
file:///Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/compass.icns
file:///Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/ErrorPageHelpButton.tif
file:///Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Resources/page-load-errors.css
I have tried all the usual repairs and tests, and creating new user account, etc., but problem persists.
Is it possibly something related to 10.5.3 It is only a few sites, but the browsers stall and can't find the server of the requested site?

If it is happening in all browsers, then it can't be a Safari cache issue.
Are you using a proxy server? (Look in Network Preferences -> Advanced (for your active connection to find out). If so, try removing it.
Also, try opening Terminal and typing:
ping www.politico.com
Does it resolve the name successfully? If not, there is the possibility of a DNS issue on your computer/network.

My system is unable to load certain websites.

I read that I should make changes to the DNS? But I have no idea how to make the neccesary changes. I am trying to load the site: www.travelmessage.nl. I really hope somebody is willing to help me out with this issue. My 16 year old daugter is living in Chili and I would like to read her blog and see the pictures.

Adding Open DNS codes to your Network Preferences, should give good results in terms of speed-up as well as added security:
If you are using a single computer: Open System Preferences/Network. Double click on your connection type, or select it in the drop-down menu, and in the box marked 'DNS Servers' add the following two numbers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
(You can also enter them if you click on Advanced and then DNS)
Sometimes reversing the order of the DNS numbers can be beneficial in cases where there is a long delay before web pages start to load, and then suddenly load at normal speed:

My computer will not load certain websites

Hi,
Both Safari and Firefox will not load certain websites consistantly (Twitter is one of them). I check on my wife's computer and they can load on her computer no problem. It shows the "Problem Loading Page" message. I've cleared history, cache, everything that I can think of. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Richard

Hello,
In a browser's URL bar, put this & hit enter, does that get you to Apple?

Unable to load some websites after an update to IOS6

I am unable to load some websites in both Safari and Google Chrome. This did not bother me until I found at that I cannot access some websites I can access before and frequent. I am unsure if this was caused by the update to ios6, but this incident only happened after the update. I am unsure as well if this is related to the problem of me unable to connect to itunes and app store after the update. I've fixed those by changing my DNS to 8.8.8.8 and changing the time trick. I've also noticed that twitter and some apps crashed a lot. I have no problem connecting to the wifi though. Thank you in advance.

Some additional details I have also noticed. Some images will not show or appears as a blue and white question mark in some websites. Even here in apple website.

Problem loading certain websites

For the past year or so, my iMac has (running Mac OS X 10.5.8) has been giving me trouble when it comes to loading certain websites. The reason why I think it's my computer as opposed to my browser or my internet connection is because these websites will load on other computers connected to the wireless network in my home, and because the problem persists with any browser I attempt to use - I've tried Google Chrome, Firefox and Safari and none of them load these websites. (Also, they load fine when I'm on the internet via my iPod touch.)
The websites in question include about.com, ehow.com, and any website with a .me extension. There are others, but those are the three that come to mind at the moment. When I try to go on about.com for example, the page simply does not load. There's not even an attempt to load the page. It's very frustrating because I see no reason why these websites shouldn't work.
I have tried clearing the caches, history and preferences for all browsers, as well as logging in as a different user on my computer and seeing if these websites worked - they didn't work, even as a different user. I was told it could be a problem with the .plist files, so I dragged all of them into the trash and tried loading these webpages, but it still didn't work. Does anyone know what else it could be? Also, I apologize if my description of the problem was unclear.

Some other things you can try:
1. Run Software Update (in the Apple Menu) and make sure you have all available Apple updates for OS X.
2. Go to Adobe.com and make sure you have the latest versions of Shockwave and Flash for your computer installed.
3. Go to System Preferences > Parental Controls and see if any restrictions have been established.
4. Go to System Preferences > Accounts and set up a new user account. Try using your browsers from this account. If they work, there is a problem with your "old" account. Next steps will depend on how much time and effort you're willing to devote to troubleshooting.
5. Power cycle your router and computer.
6. Go to System Preferences > Network. Highlight your router (assuming you're using a wireless connection) and select the "TCP/IP" panel. Click on the "Renew DHCP Lease" button.

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.

Need to click in address bar to load certain websites

Firefox never finishes loading certain websites. However, clicking on the site address in the address bar then immediately loads them. This also happens with all add-ons disabled. What gives?

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See "Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile":
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

Thanks for that information!
I'm sure I will be calling AppleCare, but the problem is, they charge for the phone calls don't they? Because I don't have money to be spending to be on the phone with a support service.
In other things, it seemed like the only time my MacBook was working was when I had Snow Leopard without the 10.6.8 update download that was supposed to be done to prepare for OS X Lion.
When I look at the information of my HD it says that I have 10.6.8 but that was the install that it claimed to have failed and caused me to restart resulting in all of the repeated problems.
Also, because my computer is currently down, and I've lost all files how would that effect the use of my iPhone? Because if it doesn't get fixed by the time OS 5 is released, how would I be able to upgrade?!

Firefox cannot load certain websites and I've tried all suggested options to fix the problem.

I cannot load certain websites (my bank, some public/civic offices, etc.) on Firefox or Internet Explorer (I usually use Firefox) and have tried all the suggested options in Firefox Help to remedy this problem: clearing cache and cookies, making sure no proxy is selected, allowing cookies). How do I fix this? I use a broadband internet connection that is shared.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
<b> To Enable SafeMode </b>
*You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
*''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
If it works in Safe Mode and in normal mode with all extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) disabled then try to find which extension is causing it by enabling one extension at a time until the problem reappears.
Close and restart Firefox after each change via "Firefox > Exit" (Windows: Firefox/File > Exit; Mac: "Firefox > Quit Firefox"; Linux: "Firefox/File > Quit")

All of a sudden safari wont load certain websites. all software is fully up to date, all of a sudden safari wont load certain websites. all software is fully up to date

safari has stopped loading certain websites, all software is up to date. Have tried resetting safari with no result. Any ideas?

If you follow the instructions at http://www.opendns.com/start , does the problem go away? If so, your ISP is having DNS troubles.
(Hopefully you can get to Open DNS.)
