Safari Problem

[Capt Underpants]

Okay. Every time I open Safari, this error message comes up (see picture). When I click OK and refresh, though, the page loads right up. This message also appears, many times, when I click on links. Has anyone else been having this problem? Does anyone know why it doesn't load the first time, but always loads the second?

There's been a few threads about the same problem around here recently. I seem to remember one remedy was to manually input your ISP's DNS servers in your network config.

So I should call up my ISP and ask for the DNS servers? I'll have to wait until a weekday to do that. Hopefully it'll work, though. I'll give it a try.

Who's your ISP? I'm sure a little google with dig 'em up.

I use SBC DSL. I went to their help site, and it said to make sure the DNS server area in the network config was empty.

Try putting in a couple of the DNS servers from this page (table at the bottom).

I've been having the same problem. I put the IPs I got from here in the network config and after I applied the settings I couldn't connect to the internet at all.
Am I doing this right? I think that maybe the servers are wrong.


A google search brought me to a thread at macosxhints discussing the same problem. They seemed to suggest turning off IPv6 since most of the internet is on IPv4.

Did you use addresses from the DNS Servers or Resolvers tables? I think you should be using ones from the resolvers table.

edit: It is without doubt addresses from the "The SBC Resolvers are as follows:" table that you want to be using, just tested it out.

I used the DNS Servers table since it was first on the page.

Thanks. It works now. Do you think I should still leave the IPv6 off?

 

[Capt Underpants]

I can't type in the resolver names. It won't let me type an S or an N.

edit: Should I be typing in the IP address of the server instead of the name?

As long as you aren't getting DNS search failures, Firefox'll work faster with the disable IPV6 flag set to TRUE (meaning IPV6 is off).

Yes, you should be entering the IP addresses, not names.
