I am connected to the internet and can access other programs but Safari says it can not find the server. I am working from an iMac with os x 10.8. I am a new Mac user(since Jan) but this is the first time I have had this happen. I need Safari to access a scheduling program for my office so any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Again please remember I am VERY Green when it comes to Mac's. Thank you in advance.
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)
Power off the router. Wait awhile. Power it back on. Wait until all the lights are lit up properly.
It will take a while. Restart the computer.
Start up in Safe Mode

For more info:
When I go into Safari it brings me to the Top Sites page. Some of the pages seem to be working ok and some I click on it is telling me server can not be found. I have cleared the caches and the cookies but still nothing.
1. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
Turn off Extensions if any and launch Safari again to test.
Turn on those one by one and test.
2. Delete Safari .plist file.
Quit all applications. Click on an empty spot on the desktop to activate Finder.
Hold the “Option” key down and click the "Go" menu in the Finder menu bar.
Select “Library” from the drop down.
Library > Preferences > com.apple.Safari.plist
Right click it and select "Move to Trash". Close Finder window.
Please don’t empty the Trash.
Restart. Launch Safari.
Test Safari.
If this doesn’t help;
Put back the com.apple.Safari.plist
Right click the Trash icon in the Dock and select “Open”
Right click on the com.apple.Safari.plist and select “Put Back”.
Thank you for the responses. Once I cleared everything and rebooted. Everything seems to be working for now. I appreciate all the help.
Can't find server.
