[QUOTE="jdanilson, post: 736533, member: 69752"] Here's the setup. 2 imacs with both ethernet and wifi connection. 1 powerbook with wifi only. 1 ipone with wifi and Edge. dns settings are identical for but the iphone. all works fine on the ethernet connected imacs. powerbook cannot find a random set of sites; I've not figured out a pattern but some work and some do not. I also noticed on the powerbook if I type [url=http://www.foo.com]Get the 411 on Anyone with Free White Pages, People Search and Online Directory[/url] often the status bar shows [url=http://www.bar.com]Bar.com - Bar Stools & Barware, Find Local Bars[/url] before it finally gets a page not found for [url=http://www.foo.com]Get the 411 on Anyone with Free White Pages, People Search and Online Directory[/url] My /etc/resolve.conf is consistent with the dns settings in the settings pane. I am totally perplexed. Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this are welcome. Thanks, John. [/QUOTE]
