Safari doesn't show Google Images

I've now tried my failing system with the firewall in the router turned off, and everything is working fine... turn the firewall ON and it fails again. I'm not prepared to leave my router firewall OFF - could it be that Snow Leopard is implementing some networking feature that is not supported by the firewall in my router?

Turning my Routers firewall off did fix this problem. Yet on my windows box next to me it works fine with the router firewall on. I have the problem with both firefox and safari.

So does that mean the problem is the firewall dropping packets which OSX needs?

I have a Belkin ADSL2+ Router

Hi all, found this fix on the internet and it worked for me...I only changed the first one 'network.http.pipelining' set to true and it fixed the problem. [Edit: forgot to mention that about:config would not bring up anything in safari so I had to use firefox to make the change]

"This is usually a sign of a crappy router, sometimes triggered by BitTorrent(but not required). Try looking for firmware updates. You can use Firefox with some special settings to see if the problem disappears:

Browse to about:config

network.http.pipelining set to true
network.http.max-connections set to 8
network.http.max-connections-per-server set to 3"

Having the same problem since the upgrade to snow leopard. Google image search results do not load, google maps does not load. No problem whatsoever on my super-cheap windows laptop. Tried another router, no change.

Funny thing... not changed anything as far as I know, and now google images is working fine, though a couple of days ago it was failing constantly.
Is there something network-y going on under the hood in SL that could be periodically causing this problem?

Yea, very weird.
Safari started showing my lost Google Calendar yesterday as well. I did nothing, changed nothing. Just glad that it's back!

Hi everyone. i'm glad that i'm not the only one who has this problem for over 6 months! and believe me, I'm Thai. And i've try search for solution in Thai with no one can gave me at all (and i saw no one have a problem with this,too). But i notice that When i use IE or Google Chrome on Windows XP (on the same mac, w/ bootcamp); It's no problem. I can find images from google images or yahoo image as normal.

Finally i've found this topic and....Thanks to hanzzvizz . It work! I use 3Com router. Try log into router setting and go to Firewall section. select Medium instead of High (defalut check). Then images are now shown! Thanks a bunch you guys! You're my savior!!

Hi
I had the same problem, both with safari and firefox.
Disenabling my firewall in my router solved the problem, but I don't think I dare to leave it like that.
Hope the boys and girls at Apple will solve this problem.

I have the same problem. Happened since Snow leopard install. I thought I'd fixed it by connecting directly to the router, Not to the Airport express that was linked to it. But the problem returned after about 3 minutes... while I was typing my amazing revelation.

Tried the Firefox tip. Still no joy. not prepared to turn off the firewall, when windows machines in the house don't have the same problem.

Many thanks to my web designer Jewlion for this solution. I tried the setting Router Firewall to Medium and that works BUT I wasn't happy about that (Windows computers + kids + reduced security = asking for it!)

Anyway, go to FIREWALL settings in Router and

Change the Firewall settings under '*DoS Detect Criteria*' thus:
'*Maximum incomplete TCP/UDP sessions number from same host*' changed from 10 to 50.

Hey presto! welcome back google images and maps! Just got to get apps working on daughters iPod Touch and I'm in a happy place!
