Question

Google issue

Hi,

I am running leopard on a mac mini as a media center. I just ran the most recent software update last week sometime and I just noticed an issue. Not sure if it is a safari or leopard issue. Since the update I cannot go to any google servers. It seems like the whole domain is blocked. I am running Safari 5.0 and can reach google on my laptop off of the same wireless connection. Any pointers?

Mac Book Aluminum Late 2008, Mac OS X (10.6.4)

Hi Daniel

is this just Safari - do other browsers work ?

Temporarily ry another user account - create one via System Preferences-Accounts
These instructions are for 10.6 - but the procedure's the same.

If a new account is no better, I'd suggest adding DNS numbers to System Preferences-Network-Advanced-DNS

Follow the instructions at http://code.google.com/speed/public-dns/docs/using.html#setup and use the numbers there, or 208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220 which are run by opendns.com

Just downloaded firefox and it too does not work. I am running this machine headless and I am not sure if I can log in via screen sharing and I need it to stay logged in. Will try your other suggestion and report back.

Just tried the second suggestion and it worked. Why all of a sudden would this happen? Safari 5?

Thanks

Yes d, it does seem so - you're not the first with that sort of issue.
