I am the IT Administrator at my company. We have a public website as well as an MX record for mail. At home I have a few PCs and a Macbook that I've had for a year or so, but it's my first mac. All computers at home are running through an Apple Airport wireless base station. Now here's the problem.....All the PCs INCLUDING a virtual windows machine that I am running on the Mac can resolve our public website and OWA, but the Mac cannot!! I've tried rebooting the airport, I've tried different browsers, I've tried flushing the local cache, etc.....Still can't. I just get a "Server can't be found" error......Any suggestions? I'm stumped.

Try pinging the site using the name. See if the ping brings back a response and also if it is resolving the IP correctly.

Yeah, tried all that. Can't ping by name or IP. HOWEVER, I can ping the same servers from the Windows VIRTUAL machine installed on this MAC!?!?!? Crazy. It is an issue with OSx or my Mac, but NOT DNS or the NIC.......thoughts?

Might have tired this, but have you tested it in Firefox for the Mac?

I'm not aware of any issues OWA or Exchange have with Mac's. Does your Mac connect through some sort of Proxy?
