New York Times pages won't load

Hi,

Thanks for the answers, I don't know what you have tried thus far if this is
redundant forgive me.

Perhaps going to your Gateway to check your settings would prove fruitful, there have been times when a user can not access a site and reconfiguring the settings helps

Also you may want to check your settings w/ Tesserax post here

Do you have the Debug Menu enabled in Safari? if not that may help,
With Safari quit, enter the command into a terminal window, click return
enter admin password.

defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeDebugMenu 1

-------------------------------------------
Clearing the Routers cache may help as well.

In a Terminal window, copy & paste this command below..

lookupd -flushcache


Good luck, please keep us posted.

The URL above opened just fine for me.
The issue is a "lost network connection" (the URL failed to load). Command-R (refresh/reload) will usually open the page.
It has nothing at all to do with the NYT Site and you could have gotten that message from any Web page.
The usually fix is to contact your ISP and ask them to suggest some DNS server values that you would enter in your Network System Preferences.

It isn't just the NYTimes
it's quicktime on Safari, it's the finder....since the last updates, 2 hours ago,
everything is slow, and the only place quicktime works on the net, on any page, is at THE APPLE SITE.

Hi,

Which mac listed in your specs does this affect?

Which router do you use?

Have you tried trashing the cache folders instead of just emptying the cache?

Go to the ~Library/Caches folder, find Safari cache & firefox cache & move both to the trash.

Does that help any?

When this happens, have you checked your connection in System preferences/Network/Show: Airport or Ethernet, is the light yellow or green?

Do you have anything in the following system preferences section?

System Preferences > Network
Click on "Airport" and click "Configure"
Click on the Proxies tab

Is anything entered for the proxy settings in that section? If so and if you didn't enter that information due to a need for proxies, clear/delete any proxy settings, click "Apply Now," and close System Preferences. You will probably need to quit and relaunch Safari and may also need to restart the Mac to see the changes take effect.

hey there this si a simple suggestion
since what i understood here is that you have the same problem with different web browsers on the mac os x side but it works fine when you try them from a virtual OS which seems to be an issue with the network preferences why don't you just trash out the system configuration folder and then restart your computer and then create a new location then test it out

or maybe you will need to try a direct connection from your modem to your mac to see if it is an issue with the router's end

or also you could try checking to see if the issue persist on a different mac

Earlier you wrote, "I did as you suggested and added the 2 DNS servers recommended by my ISP (AT&T Bellsouth) in my AirPort System Preferences."

Have you tried alternate DNS addresses? It's possible the DNS addresses supplied by your ISP are flaky. This has been an on-again, off-again problem for me with my ISP.

If you haven't tried other DNS addresses yet, try either of these popular options:

Verizon's DNS addresses:

4.2.2.1
4.2.2.2

OpenDNS addresses:

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

Also, you mention you entered the DNS addresses in your System Preferences (Network/Airport). That should work, but be aware that if you have a router that all of the computers in your house use to connect, you can enter DNS addresses in that router's configuration instead. (And you might try changing whether the router has these set up, or your computers' System Preferences, to see whether one or the other makes a difference. If you do that, make sure to reboot everything - computers and router - between tests.)
