i have a belkin 802.11b router and just recently whenever i try and access fotolog.net it wont go saying
"Safari cant open the page http://www.fotolog.net because it cant find the server www.fotolog.net"
i also get it for as the apple turns
"Safari cant open the page http://appleturns.com/ because it cant find the server appleturns.com"
however with ATAT when i lick OK and reload the page it will come up like normal. i get alot of this with other random sites also.
it used to work then one day it just stopped, so i reset the factory defaults in my router but that didn't help.
and when i plug my DSL modem directly into my PB it works fine.

That falls in line with a problem that was fixed by 10.3.7. One of the updates before that (might have been a security fix) introduced a bug that affected DNS lookups. DNS lookups translate domain names into IP addresses which you can then communicate directly with.
At any rate, updating should help.

upgrade. it will fix it. there was a workaround...envolving putting your routers ip address into search domain box in tcp settings. but why not just upgrade?
