[QUOTE="KingMel, post: 1009002, member: 145876"] My wife recently began experiencing difficulty accessing a subset of web sites while I was on travel - school lunch program, link within irs.gov, etc. When I returned, I tried the same domain names from my account without success. I then recycled power on my DSL modem and Airport Extreme. Then I logged back into her account and reset Safari, changed DNS settings to alternate servers, checked advanced settings, temporarily turned off the firewall - all without success. I still wondered if it might be the Airport Extreme, so I co-located the DSL modem with my desktop iMac and used a direct ethernet connection. Bingo - all of the links now work. The question still remains, however, regarding why the Airport Extreme was the source of the problem. Some type of filtering/blocking? Did these web sites change their code in a way that is incompatible with the AE? Could this have anything to do with IPv6? [/QUOTE]
