[QUOTE="PGB1, post: 1841636, member: 76746"] I wanted to send a Thank You to MBAmtloin, Chscag & Randy B. Singer for helping me with this, now seemingly resolved, problem. It was, as mentioned by Chscag & Randy B Singer, a DNS problem. I apologize for the very delayed reply to everyone's help. I have been working to resolve some IRS, Social Security, Medicare, etc. problems so incase I goofed things all up, I didn't want to touch anything in uncharted territory until the critical stuff was settled. The OpenDNS that Randy suggested, applied to my MacBook Pro (the Test Dummy for this), made the computer find the web sites even faster than before the problem first occurred. It's working great. Interestingly, Apple Mail has (had) been giving offline errors randomly for various accounts. Now it is working just fine. Next I'll change the DNS in my wife's iPad & MacBook Pro. If I get brave, I'll try setting the router to OpenDNS, as Randy suggested in #5, above. I'll try to set it in the modem. (If I can figure it out from the Arris the instructions. I'm not sure, but from what i have read in the manual so far, the ISP has control. I'll ask Arris to be certain.) Thanks Again Everyone & Be Sure to Enjoy Today! Paul [/QUOTE]
