Hi, Karen,
thanks for the reply, I hope they get it squared away, a good idea to take it in.
When i posted to you yesterday (twice because it was chopped up the post was there in it's entirety when I viewed it,
Waa, most all of it is gone again I see, odd odd odd!!
Good thing for me I use textedit for my replies, b/c this will not do, left as is.
This below is what was somehow edited out twice!!! I omit what has been posted b4 & 2x at that.
It covers DNS & more... for when you get your mac back. Please let us know what transpires, okay?
Best of luck,

A note on updating your Apple software,
do not use your mac when an update is optimizing it can cause problems.
-----------------•
Quit Safari,
Click on the Finder's Icon in the Dock.
In The Finders window, sidebar, click on the Home icon
(if Finder prefs. are not set to open home)
go to the following path I move the cookies file & the Safari cache folder to the trash.
Home~/Library/Cookies folder/
cookies.plist
Home~/Library/Caches folder/
Safari cache
Launch Safari any better?
----------------------------•
Karen, Safari should be at @ version 2.0.4, I'm not sure why your copy is at 2.0.2, are you sure it is so?
Get info on Safari from the Applications folder,
Click once to highlight Safari, control click to bring up the contextual menu
Get info, what is the size, created & modified date?
You can download a 2.0.4 version from here,
Safari if you want a simply way to
bring it to the correct version, thanks to one of the helpers in Safari forum.
i think you ought to Update your copy of Firefox to the latest version, which is 2.0.0.4 to do so, when Firefox is open
under the Help menu, click on check for updates, follow the directions.
• Are you using a third party Firewall NetBarrier or other if so disable it.
• Check in Safari Preferences->Advanced tab, Proxies: check that none are not selected.
--------------------------------------------•
System preferences->Network->Show: (Ethernet or Airport whichever is the case )
TCP/IP-> DNS Servers: do you have # values entered there?
If nor see if your ISP Dns server numbers are listed here in the
Portforwardweb page if you do not already use those, or get them from your ISP, you do not say which your IISP is.
In the TCP/IP tab, Configure IPv4: is it set to Using DHCP?
Configure IPv6 to Automatically,
Btw many users find that Verizon's dns numbers help, (Level3) - tnot restricted to Verizon customers
4.2.2.1
4.2.2.2
Whichever you decide to use your ISp's or the above verizon #s enter the Dns #s in list mode as shown, & and click on "Apply Now."
-------------------if as of yet nothing helps any------------•
Try Safari in a newly created test account test
10.4 & Adding a new user account to your computer
This helps to show if you have a system wide issue or if the problem is isolated to your username account.
If it behaves the same in the new created test account reapplying the OS x 10.4.10 Combined Update
from Apple downloads may help.
If you use Airport extreme or express see this on
Airport interference issues as one of the posters said, cordless phone 2.5GHZ can cut you connection, as can see the link for more.
