I have a very strange problem, so strange I don't even know which sub-forum to post it to.
Last week, my cable modem broke, so I took it back and got a new one.
The new one doesn't work with my old router so, for now, I have to connect the modem directly to my Mac with an ethernet cable.
Everything works fine, except that I cannot access unix.com in Safari or in Firefox. every other website is fine!
If, however I use Firefox on Linux in a VM I can get to the site.
I've cleared the cache, cookies and everything else I can think of.
I simply replaced the old modem with the new one, and changed nothing - and every other website works fine.
Could anyone possibly have a clue? I'm confused, and it's driving me up the wall.
Thanks.

Safari:
Code:
Safari can’t open the page.
Safari can’t open the page “https://www.unix.com/” because the server where this page is located isn’t responding.
Firefox:
Code:
The connection has timed out
The server at www.unix.com is taking too long to respond.
* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few
moments.
* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network
connection.
* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure
that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.
Have you resolved your issue yet? Is it related to DNS? DNS is the only protocol / service that can be related to your issue in my humble opinion. Please let use know what you come up with.
Given that I have no idea what I'm doing, I did this:
rebooted
made a cup of tea
flushed the routing table
flushed the disk cache
manually stopped and started en0
made another cup of tea
rebooted a few more times
looked at the syslog
What exactly should I do, or be looking for, with DNS (remembering that it's only UNIX.com that I can't access)?
Thanks.
PS: I had a mad theory that I accessed UNIX.com so often with my old modem, that the route has burned itself into the ethernet card on my Mac This probably goes to show that I know nothing about hardware, or networks!

I recently installed Caldera 2.4 (successfully:p ), but I cannot seem to get my cable modem up and running! My ISP is AT&T and I'm using @home. I've tried using DHCP and that didn't work either. I briefly read the cable modem HOWTO, but the lsmod didn't list my network card (3COM). What do I do now? (4 Replies)
If the cable modem that the cable company is using doesn't support unix is there a way around that . Are there drivers I can get online or is there a way to configure redhat lenix (that's what I will be using) to work with the cable modem. Or is there a way to buy a third party cable modem that...
