a248.e.akamai.net?

Hi. When I open Safari I get the message that safari can't identify the identity of the page, that I may be connecting to a website pretending to be apple.com (my homepage). I click on show certificate and under GTE Cyber Trust Globbal Root it says: a248.e.akamai.net. That's the only place I've seen it on my computer.



What's going on?
Thank you.

And what is the url address that you are wanting to connect to? You can use safe DNS by inserting in the DNS Servers box the following:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
System Preferences>Network>Show:Ethernet or Airport>TCP/IP

Are you using the latest version of Safari?

sig,

Thanks for the response. I plugged 'safe dns' into Scroogle this morning and read up on it. I changed all of my DNS numbers over to the ones mentioned (including two routers). The results:

Kihei loads web pages noticeably faster, close to 50% faster IMO.

MBP now loads pages almost instantaneously when connected by ethernet cable; probably 50-75% faster in wireless mode compared to previous results. Found strange DNS numbers in the MBP network preferences pane, which may explain why it has been creeping along recently. I would like to see the Airport Connectivity speed up a bit, as it used to be near instantaneous at one time too. The 'slow down' seems to have started with the 10.5.6 upgrade.
