What's adding ":8090" to all my URL's?
I have a very strange networking problem that only occurs with a login type wireless connection at my school, but never with a wired connection there, or other types of wireless connections, encrypted on unencrypted. What use to work a few weeks ago fine, taking me to the login page at "https://bs5000.lehman.cuny.edu/login.pl?action=paint;source=172.16.8.221;desti nation=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.macosxhints.com%2F%3F;r=OGoe2xc5481" whenever I typed in any random URL (www.macosxhints.com in this case), now instead appends ":8090/www.lehman.cuny.edu" to any address so instead I'd go to "www.macosxhints.com:8090/www.lehman.cuny.edu" in this case. Lehman.cuny.edu is my school's domain.
It still works fine for other people at school, even on Macs. The only thing I can pinpoint I might have changed around the time it stopped working is installing Parallels and a DynDNS transponder, but I've uninstalled both of those, taken all the StartupItems out of my /System/Library and /Library folders, restarted, no change. It even does this for newly created test users with nothing installed. I've talked to Apple about it and they thought it had to do with Parallels, but uninstalling that didn't help. They said just do an erase and install of the system but I have nowhere to store all my data in the meantime and there should be a simpler solution. 😟
I've done a grep of the entire system for "8090" and can't find anything that jumps out. I can send the dump of that if you'd like. I also deleted all my certificates at my school's IT dept's suggestion, since the login process does give you certificate, but still didn't help.
I don't have any other networking software like Little Snitch that I can think of installed. Any ideas on this vexing problem?
Thanks in advance.
