[QUOTE="MMM, post: 567651, member: 45431"] Thanks so much for helping me to test this everyone! :) I have talked with my hosting provider who has checked everything from their end...all good. He had me check the sites using [url]https://www.megaproxy.com/[/url] and they all loaded ok there. So it does seem to be something here causing the issue. He recommended I check with my ISP, which I did and they say it seems to be an isolated machine incident, nothing they can find that would cause this as they don't do any filtering or blocking... I think it is some kind of bug with Leopard...as I just upgraded about a week ago. But I have nothing to base that on but intuition. ;-) I am trying OpenDNS but not seeing any changes. I disabled IPv6, as I haven't been able to see my windows shares either (another unrelated issue) but I don't think this would help me anyhow. I used: dscacheutil -flushcache to clear the DNS cache and tried to load the sites again....no-go. Apparently, some people are having a similar issue with Safari. My head actually hurts and I am spinning just a little from the search for answers on this.:Grimmace: I found this: [url]http://aplawrence.com/MacOSX/firefox_google.html[/url] that seems to be similar to what I am experiencing so my search continues. Maybe now that IPv6 is off I will see something happen? Dunno. Maybe I should start caching my own DNS? [/QUOTE]
