Hey Blue!!
Whattup?!!

I'm sure somebody got Blue's password and said that.
It appears to be a pretty common problem.
So I'm sure Apple will resolve this soon.

I hope Apple are aware of this very frustrating problem.

Is it possible to remove V 10.5.3?

hey blue, when you having the problem with Safari, can you open up a terminal window and type in there :

nslookup "www.yahoo.com" (without the double quotes)

you should get something like that :

Server: X.X.X.X
Address: X.X.X.X#53

Non-authoritative answer:
"www.yahoo.com" canonical name = "www.yahoo-ht3.akadns.net"
Name: "www.yahoo.com"
Address: 87.248.113.14

will it be able to resolve the name to the correct IP's ? if not it will be clearly a DNS issue, whats ur configured DNS ? in System Prefernces --> Networking.

if your DNS are the address of your router, check the DNS settings on ur router.

sorry if this has been covered. but worth mentioning it.

its not just the update ppl, my frnd, on Tiger is experiencing the problem aswell, so i think we shudnt really expect much from the update in this matter atleast
has anyone checked if PC users are facing the same problem using IE ?? just a thought

I have a windows XP box in the livingroom (like 6 years old) and it's working flawlessly. Also had a few friends' laptops up here and no issues. all running windows XP and one running Vista.

My iBook has no issues as well. Its running Tiger.

noixe · 7th June 2008, 16:47

no, i can say tht tiger has issues cuz my frnd's having them, and i've seen em, so i can tell tht they're the same, she isnt up here so she cant contribute... hmm, its probbly the SAFARI update and not the whole update package as a whole that is causing the problem... but then firefox not finding the server dsnt add up :S this doesnt make sense at all... and firefox is facing the same problem, unlike what the heading suggests...
