Hi there,

I am new to Mac and have been struggling with this issue for the last week or so: there are a few websites I cannot access anymore (such as www.westpac.com.au, www.telstra.com.au, www.optus.com.au and a few others...). As far as I can guess it is not:
  • strictly *.au website related (or at least I think) because I can access some others *.au websites and some other (just can't think of one right now sorry...) in *.com or *.fr don't work either...
  • my ISP (iinet in Australia) as the websites mentioned above work from my PC when I connect it from home.

Below the result from a PING on the first 2 websites in the list above:

PING www.westpac.com.au (203.24.6.90): 56 data bytes
36 bytes from TenGigabitEthernet7-1.ken29.Sydney.telstra.net (203.50.20.41): Communication prohibited by filter

--- www.telstra.com.au ping statistics ---

I have this issue from both my iMac and my Macbook Air, on which I have set up no firewall or other specific filter. I am using a Belkin modem, on which I have desactivated the wifi to use a TimeCapsule as a wifi router. I get the same issue when I try to connect from Safari, Firefox or Chrome...

I have exhausted all tips and tricks I have from the PC word... thanks in advance for your support to resolve this issue!

Not sure what I did apart from updating the Time Capsule's firmware and playing with the router settings... but it's back to normal now. Sorry for the inconvenience...
