Dec 23, 2009 2:12 PM in response to xsiby Golden Shoes,Why not just use a different DNS service, like Google?
Quit Safari.
Go to System Preferences > Network > Advanced and add these two sets of numbers at the top of the list:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
Then click Apply Now and quit System Preferences.
Restart your Mac and everything should be fine. -

It can cause Safari to hang or crash. I've never had it turned on and it really isn't that important if you exercise appropriate caution before downloading anything. If you use Google's Public DNS service, you get the same benefits, but none of the downside.
