I recently have been unable to log onto a financial website, that I hadnt had problems with in the past. The site is:

http://www.futurescholar.com/Account...ountAccess.htm

When I click on login, it takes me to this site:

https://www3.******************/tf/F...20120108001802

And I get this error message:

Safari can’t open the page “https://www3.******************/tf/F...0120108001802”. The error is: “The URL can’t be shown” (WebKitErrorDomain:101) Please choose Safari > Report Bugs to Apple, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this messag

I get a similar message in firefox. I just downloaded firefox yesterday to try it and see if this was a problem with Safari, but no luck. I have cleared the cache for both browsers which did nothing and verified my disc which came out OK. I can access the website from a windows machine, no problem. This is really annoying because I do online investing with this institution.

Any suggestions?

Have you tried Reset Safari

No trouble here getting to the login page.

Yes, several times. Just did it again and no luck.

You might want to check your DNS settings; confirm with your ISP that they are correct. Are you having similar trouble with any other websites?

This is the only website I have found any trouble with. I do use open DNS. Wonder if this might be the problem??

OpenDNS can cause problems sometimes

After using it for over a year I had to remove it from my router as it would not allow any lan connections to my windows home server machine at all.
