Safari can't connect even though ping connects in 5ms.
I've got a Mac Pro running OS X Server 10.4.11. But this is not really a Server question.
When I use Safari (or Firefox) to browse the web, intermittently Safari reports that it can't open the page because it can't connect to the server. See the message below. But it does this even when I've got PING running and succeeding in contacting the server once every second, with a 5ms response time.
How can I track this down? What log file shows details of Safari's connection attenpts?
And it's not just Safari. My computer is also hard to access from other computers intermittently as well. And it's not a general network problem: Other computers on the same switch have no trouble.
Can anyone tell me where to look to get more information about these failures? I see nothing in any of the logs I've checked.
Here's the Safari error message:
Safari can’t connect to the server.
Safari can’t open the page “ http://someUrl/” because it could not connect to the server “someUrl”.
