Cannot resolve selective websites on MacOS9

[Adlerwarte]

Hi,

I have an old iMac with MacOS 9.1. In the last days I have problems resolving selective websites, which I have visited earlier without problems. Other websites work fine.

I tried the same homepage on my second computer and found that I could visit the same website without problems.

Clearing the browser cache did not resolve the problem. I tried this with IE5 and Mozilla 1.3 (also with IE5 on Virtual PC). All prowsers on the iMac could not resolve this Website.

With Virtual PC, I could resolve the IP address from the domain name via tracert. -> DNS works correctly.

How can I manage this problem? Can I clear the TCP/IP Stack?

Thanks in advance for any recommendations.

Regards,
Clemens

What do you mean by 'resolving' websites?

To me that means you are trying to fix problems on someone else's website which you, nor I, nor anyone one else except the owner of the website has a right to do. If you are not the website owner, you have no right to be trying to fix that site for the website owner, unless the website owner has hired you to do that and given you the passwords needed to change things there. Contact the website owners involved and have them fix them instead of trying to hack someone esle's website.

No, I think he means that when he types the URL of a site into his browser the URL is not 'resolved' to load the website in his browser.

Try looking for a hosts file and either deleting (keep a copy, just in case).

Do you have any firewall software running?

Check the DNS being used by the Mac (not VPC) and compare to VPC. This has to be a DNS on the Mac problem / firewall / permissions issue.
