Dear Friends,
It seems I am able to browse secured websites and pick up my email messages using Mail and I can chat using Messages, but I cannot browse to unsecured sites on this network. Any suggestion about how I might go about fixing this problem? I have been given a Web Proxy address, but it doesn't seem to be having any effect.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.
Is PeerGuardian installed? If so, remove it and try again.
Otherwise, select ▹ System Preferences ▹ Network ▹ Advanced ▹ Proxies. If any proxies are selected, deselect them, apply your changes, and try again. You must apply the changes before they take effect. You don’t need to disable passive FTP mode.
Thank Linc,
I tried what you suggested, but still no success.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.
I did the test. still had the problem.
Apparently you're on a network where access to HTTP servers is only allowed through a proxy. If the proxy isn't working, you'll have to contact the network administrator.
Hi there!!!.
I am having a similar problem, I just can access with my MacBook Air HTTPS sites, if I try to access any HTTP site it does not work.
for instance, if I copy this link in my URL BAR "www.google.com" does not work, but if I copy the complete link https://www.google.com/ it works perfect.
Pd. If I run my Mac in safe mode everything works perfect.
Thanks heaps anyone who can help me.
i can browse secured sites (https) but cannot browse regular (http) sites. any help?
