[QUOTE="mac57, post: 486202, member: 17052"] I think I heard you say that you had no problems until a few days ago, none of your Mac browsers will load the pages of interest, and several friends' laptops, when connected to your cable modem, also won't load them anymore. I am going to guess that at least one of the friends was using a PC? If so, this isn't a problem specific to your computer or even to Macs, but rather with your DSL connection itself. That points at a firewall change in your router or a security control at your ISP, either of which is now blocking the pages, potentially as unsafe. Is this possible? One other possibility - do you AND your friends have Norton installed? My wife has the problem all the time - they change their list of "unsafe" sites and suddenly she can't load her favorite harmless page because Norton blocks it. This is a long shot, given the number of computers you have tried this with, but if not Norton, is it possible that all of the computers in question were using a common security package? [/QUOTE]
