Why can I reach other web sites but not my own!  w/ Airport Extreme?

I can get on line and reach other sites via Safari and IE with the connection via Airport Extreme. But I can't reach my own web site!!!
And my Mac Mail is not useable because it says,
"Connection Failed: There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account "[email protected]" or try again. The server error encountered was: The server "pop.patternglass.com" cannot be contacted on port 110."
Honestly I've tried! Earthlink hosts my web site and they say its working - and it IS for everyone but me! Comcast is my ISP and they had me disconnect my Airport Extreme and connect my computer directly to the modem. Voila! It all works perfectly. Went back to Airport Extreme and same problem.
There was no 'event' that signaled the change. One minute it was fine last night and the next minute it was gone. Help me, please!

An answer to another question I had about Mac Mail fixed this problem (I can get to my web site) but I still can't get mail into my Mac Mail Box!
I still get "Connection failed. There may be a problem with the mail server or network. Check the settings for account "[email protected]" or try again.
The server error encountered was: The server "pop.patternglass.com" cannot be contacted on port 110."

    Flash player works on https web sites but not on http web sites ?
    I've tryed a lot of things to solve this problem but impossible to find the solution.
    - re-instal flash player
    - disable the firewall (windows)
    - disable the firewall and the antivirus (bitdefender)

    I test an other computer on my internet connection and everything works correctly.
    The problem comes from my computer on my internet connection.
    I'll appreciate a solution.
    Thank you.

    This is what you should see under "plugins" in Opera:
    Make sure Flash Player is listed and enabled.
    It comes from the same place as the plug-in for Firefox, so one won't work if the other doesn't.
    If that doesn't work, try a clean install. http://forums.adobe.com/message/4041846

    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.

    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)

  • Can't reach bank web sites

    I have a mystery that no one seems able to solve. I am running 10.9.5 on a 2013 MacBookAir. I have an Apple Express network that is also used by an 2011 iMac 21, also running 10.9.5. All software, including Safari, is up to date.
    I have done banking on line for several years. About a month ago, I suddenly could not connect to my bank's web site home page, and thus not to the log-in portal. Neither could the iMac. However, both could log in to every other web site. First thought was that the bank site was down. I tried several times over the course of a couple of days, but no luck. I called the bank, which said their site was up.
    Was the problem with my computer or my network? To find out, I took the MacBook to my office. There it could connect to the bank site, as could my office 2012 iMac 27. After searching around the bank site, I found a technical note detailing what plug-ins and other settings were required. I checked them all on the MacBook and the 27 to make sure they were the same, including updating Java to latest Mac version. I also updated the DNS server list to make sure the MacBook was running the same as the 27 (OpenDNS). 
    I brought the Air back home, same lack of connection. I poked around in the wireless network list and found an unsecured network in the neighborhood. I switched to that and was able to connect; ditto with the iMac. When I switched back to my own network, no connection. I called the bank's technical support line, but IT doesn't talk to bank customers.
    Everything pointed to something being wrong in my network. So I decided to re-set the Express and create a new network with a different name and password. I had high hopes for a solution. Not so. Still no connection to this one web site.  After a few days, another bank’s web site fell victim to the same problem.
    After purchasing a Thunderbolt-to-Ethernet connector for $30, I was able to bypass the wireless network and plug in the Ethernet cable. Both web sites opened as they should.
    The problem must be in the Express.  Does anyone know what’s going on?  Short of replacing the Express, is there a solution?

    First step is to narrow down the proof of the Express being the cause.
    Can you please connect the computer directly to the main router.
    If it is a cable modem you will need to power down the modem for 15min (but test as 5min is often enough). plug the computer into it by ethernet .. and then test your bank site.. if it opens and you have no problems you have proven the issue is the Express.
    If it fails then there is something else wrong.. and you are looking at the wrong area.. it has something to do with ISP routing..
    Now most likely the Express is the problem.. but proof is good. Then you can be sure if you replaced the express the problem would go away.
    Then I recommend you test via terminal.. the details are as follows.
    Open terminal..
    Type in
    traceroute www.bankname.com (where you replace the bankname with the actual URL to your bank website).
    See if the bankname is resolved by DNS to an IP address.. and see how far you get.
    You should then test when you are connected at another location where you do get access.. is the IP the same.. is the traceroute the same..
    These comparisons might not produce much but it is how you would start to break down the problem.
    If it was me I would simply immediately replace the Express with a true router.. not a box that is primarily intended as AP or to use for airplay. Play being operative word here.
    (If your express is Gen1 then I would reset to factory and flash back to 7.6.1 firmware) if it is gen2 and you are on 7.6.4 I think flashing back to earlier firmware has been made impossible.

  • Can't reach certain web sites in main account

    Over the past few days I have been unable to reach certain web sites such as boston.com and delicious.com on my Macbook Pro using either Firefox 3.0.3 or Safari. Most web sites work fine, however. With the troubled sites, the browser says it's waiting to hear from the sites and then returns an error message that says "The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading."
    However, I don't have this problem with any of the Windows machines in my house. I created a new "test" account on my macbook pro and sure enough I can connect to those sites quite quickly and with no problems using the new account.
    I have checked with the dns changer removal tool and I do not have any problems.
    Nothing looks new or weird in my login items.
    Suggestions?

    While logged into the newly created admin account, "test", backup the bad account's folder, delete the bad account, selecting the save data option, recreate the bad account using the same username/password combo, log out and back into the recreated original account. If the problem's solved, open the saved data dmg file in /Users/Deleted Users/, open the /Library/Preferences/ folder from the saved data, open the current /Users/restored account/Library/Preferences/ folder, and slowly copy plist files from the saved data folder to the current one that don't exist in it. Log out and back in to ensure there's no conflict and things still work correctly. Resolving conflicts or identifying corrupt plist files is a laborious process. Good luck.
    See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4703015 for more details on this process.

  • Help please ! applet can't run on web site but can on my machine

    I had uploaded my applet to some free web site.
    The problem is that if I'm trying to open html of applet,
    instead applet appears gray area. This happens only if the computer has no PLUG IN or JRE installed. Tell me please if there is some other solution except to download PLUG IN or JRE, because it's not good for the web site user.

    I'm no expert on this, but as far as I know you always need a plug in to run applets in a browser (java plug in).

    hello bobbrue, you have multiple malicious extensions present in your profile.
    * first i'd recommend to [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems|reset firefox]]
    * run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

  • Why can Premiere read DNxHD MOV's but not MXF's?

    I'm in the process of moving from Scratch to Resolve.  From Scratch I've always exported DNxHD QT's as they have been the best balance of quality and file size (and Scratch doesn't offer DNxHD MXF output).  Resolve 8 will only export DNxHD MXF's (version 9 is supposed to add QT export) but Adobe suite can't read them.  To the best of my knowldge the MXF is just a wrapper, the contect is the same so why can't the CS6 suite read them?
    Item for the suggestion box?

    I guess my question is:  Can Premiere/AME CS6 read DNxHD MXF files?
    I am running Win7/64 with CS6 Creative Cloud.  I have the Avid DNxHD codec installed. 
    Both Scratch and Resolve are colour grading applications (see http://www.assimilateinc.com/  and http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/davinciresolve ).  Scratch would only output DNxHD QT's and Resolve will only output DNxHD MXF's.  I often output one set of files after post-colour but then use AME to transcode them many different ways (screening copies).  Adobe suite has always read the QT's but is not reading the MXF's.  My understanding is that the file types are both just wrappers and the content is the same so I am looking to see if there is an additional download from Adobe to be able to use the MXF's or if this is a feature request?

  • Why can't I no longer connect to the Internet via my AirPort Extreme Base?

    I suddenly can no longer connect to the Internet through my AirPort Extreme. Everything was fine until this morning. My Base Station is connected to a DSL modem and then my computer connects to the Internet wirelessly through the Base Station. The center light is on in the Base Station. The left light flickers telling me there is wireless activity. I can still access my printer through the Base Station. But the right light is no longer flickering. I have rebooted everything several times. Does anyone have insight into this problem. This is the second time this has happened. For over a month I could not access the Internet through the Base Station, and then suddenly and arbitrarily it started working again. This morning it just stopped again.

    I've had the same problem - mine started after I upgraded to 10.4.8 on my MacBook a week or so ago.
    I can see other networks around my home and when I travel, but can only connect via ethernet cable (and my ISP is comcast - I thought the upgrade was supposed to help make connecting with comcast better).
    My G3 has no problem connecting, so I don't think it's exactly a problem with my modem, or base station, or even comcast. I think it has something to do with my base station and upgrading to 10.4.8. Btw, dropping back to 10.4.6 hasn't helped.

  • Why can I cache method & field ids but not class?

    In my efforts to understand JNI, I've been making heavy use of http://java.sun.com/docs/books/jni/.
    I'm having trouble reconciling some of the points it makes with regard to caching; in particular, section 4.4.1 has an example of caching a jmethodID in MyNewString().
    I don't understand why this is valid, but the example in 5.5.1 which caches the jclass is invalid.
    After all, these are both simply jobjects in the end, and isn't the jmethodID cached in 4.4.1 based off the jclass found the first time? Doesn't that become invalid when the jclass becomes invalid?
    Thanks,
    : jay

    The point the author of that book is trying to make is that caching JNI local references of such data like Java method IDs and classes is not valid across successive JNI calls. If you want to cache something the first time you load it and reuse it later, create a global reference via NewGlobalRef(), make this your cached variable, and delete the local reference automatically obtained from the JVM when you first asked for that something. Then you can refer to that cached variable all you want.
    Also beware of trying to use references across threads - this is illegal in JNI. (You might want to reread chatper 5 for this and more. My opinion is the book "Essential JNI" is a bit better though not up to date either.)

  • How can I view DVD's that I dubbed from old vhs tapes?  I finalized them and can play on other DVD players but not my IMac.  Is there a specific program?

    I dubbed DVD's from old VHS tapes.  I finalized them and can play tehm on differant DVD players, but on my IMac I can't play them.  Ultimately I want to create home movies with pics, but how can I play the DVD's?

    A DVD is a DVD, unless it's been authored in a non-standard way. When you insert it in your Mac, do you at least see the disk appear on the desktop? Does it have a VIDEO_TS folder in it, containing various files?
    If you open DVD Player manually (from the Applications folder), does it see it and start playing? If not, try downloading VLC (free) and see if that works.

  • Why can I chat with a buddy but not add them to my Buddy list?

    I'm using iChat 4.0.2 with OS 10.5.2.
    I add a particular buddy to my list but the name fades in and out and then disappears all together in a few seconds. No matter how many times and ways I try, I cannot add them to my buddy list and get them to stay. I can add other buddies to my list normally.
    During the time I can see this particular buddy's name in my buddy list, if I'm quick enough before they fade out, I can click to connect and chat perfectly. I can also request to view video with them and have them accept and view normally. However, if this buddy sends a video request to me, I hear the ring but then an instantaneous message window appears saying that the buddy "cancelled the invitation".
    Interestingly, after connecting with this particular buddy, I can maintain their text chat window and text chat as normal. This buddy is using iChat 3.1.9 and OS 10.4.11.
    Any help or ideas with how to keep this buddy in my list would be appreciated.

    Interesting.
    I would have gone the iChat > Preferences > Accounts > Security and just checked the Block list first.
    com.apple.ichat.Subnet holds the sort order and Allow/Block lists
    Setting the Preference to Allow All and then checking the Allow option and possibly the Block list would change the Subnet.plist anyway.
    For some the Flashing/disappearing Buddy is a result of iChat 4's response to Feedbag Error 10
    Feedbag errors are AIM codes for problems with the Buddy List.
    In this case it is adding a Screen name with a Real name option and that Real Name is already in the Address Book.
    To restate.
    I would leave the deletion of com.apple.ichat.Subnet.plist (as this will remove all those that may be in your Block list) until all other options have been exhausted.
