Web links don't work initially?

[jmeche3]

Hi. I am having a bit of a problem. When I click web links in firefox, a lot of times I'll get a firefox "page cannot be found" popup dialog then I just click a second time and it works fine. This never happened on my PC laptop. I was wondering if it was problem with airport or maybe Mac Firefox. Anyone else having this problem? I didn't use safari long enough to see if this happens...but my friend (who got the save 12 in. PB and setup as me) says he has that problem with safari and firefox.

Call your ISP or visist their website and get their DNS server IP address(es), then manually input these in to your network prefs.

Does that mean you already called your ISP? If you haven't, call them. The problem stems from a bug in a recent release of OS X.

I am currently testing a public DNS Server address. Hope that it helps solve the issue.
