I've been having very strange problems with Safari when attempting to access two of my domains (both Wordpress sites hosted by Hostgator).

With one domain, I can log in to the Wordpress admin panel but problems happen once I do. For example, I just wrote a new post in Wordpress and when I hit the "preview" button, it returns a 404 error. I got the same 404 error when I attempted to save the draft. There are other small issues, like an image I added to the post is not showing up even though the link is correct.

With the other domain, I can't even login to the WP admin panel. I get a 404 error.

But here's the strangest thing about it: all of these problems only happen with Safari - and only on my Mac Pro! If I use Firefox or Chrome on my Mac Pro, I don't experience any of the issues. Or, if I use Safari on my Macbook, I also don't have a problem.

I tried Safari in my wife's account on the Mac Pro, and do have the problem there. So it would seem to be an issue that only affects my Mac Pro & Safari, but is not specific to my user account.

I'm also having trouble accessing these domains using a blogging application called MarsEdit, and the Wordpress iPhone app. Apparently both of these apps share the webkit framework with Safari.

I tried clearing the internet cache with Cocktail, and emptying Safari's cache and clearing cookies. No effect.

I've never even heard of something like this. Any ideas?
