In other words, I changed everything back to the way it originally was. At any rate, I wound up switching it back to the original Automatic Configuration - DHCP default, and reverting back to my internet service provider's DNS.
I thought it was extremely weird that this would happen, as the net had been alright after I modified the settings earlier. I spent an hour trying to get it to work and was about to ring my internet company to complain when I suddenly remembered that I had changed the settings. When I returned home four hours later, I discovered to my horror that the internet had stopped functioning.

I did that, but substituted my internet service provider's DNS for Open DNS (my Mac had already been using Open DNS since yesterday, as switching to Open DNS was one of the things I tried in my attempt to fix the image problem - except it didn't have any effect on the issue whatsoever.).Īnyway, right after this, I had to leave the house for a bit, but before I left, I tested the new settings briefly and noticed that the images were still not loading even though the internet worked fine. My router is usually set to Automatic Configuration - DHCP, but I decided to switch it to Static IP, which required me to manually fill in the DNS, IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, etc. Still, I figured it couldn't hurt to do it again.). However, I seem to have finally resolved the issue in the most random way possible.īasically, after having expended every possible method of repair, I went back to fiddling with my Linksys router settings again (I'd already done this yesterday - basically switching every other option back and forth to see if it did anything. It has no effect on the problem so far.Ħstring, yes, as mentioned above, I switched to Open DNS yesterday but it didn't fix the problem. I also just tried using to change my DNS and see if that was the issue. I want to know so that I can ensure it doesn't happen again. If you know exactly what happened to trigger this, all the better. I would really appreciate suggestions on how I can rectify this - ones I haven't already tried.
They suggested that the problem lies with my Mac, and they cannot help me with that. I contacted my web host's live chat support, and according to them, my IP address has not been banned or anything, and the site works fine on their end (they checked it out on several computers). I am also inclined to think it's a computer problem rather than a browser problem, as seeing the issue affects the site on ALL my browsers, not just one of them. As the problem occurred so suddenly, randomly and without warning, I'm pretty sure that I did not personally do something to cause it intentionally - if I did, it was a sheer accident and I'm not even sure what I did.

I also tried viewing the website on other computers in my household, and it loads just fine on my brother's PC and laptop, so it's not possible that our internet company blocked my site (nor would they have any reason to). I tried rebooting my computer several times, clearing cookies, checking to see if the site had been accidentally blocked on each browser, checking to see if I'd accidentally selected "block images" on Firefox, etc. Of course, as the website's owner, being unable to view any images (along with the other site problems I mentioned) is a HUGE problem, and one that needs to be resolved immediately. I don't know if it's linked to the image issue.).Īll other members of my forum can view the images, the forums load fast and normally for them, and nobody that I know is facing the same problem as I am. The text and forums are taking pretty long to load, though. In addition, my forums are taking about five times as long to even load (but perhaps this is because the browser is trying so hard to load the images that won't load. ) and have to go through another URL (e.g. I can also no longer access the website's Cpanel using the usual URL I've used in the past (e.g. I have tried viewing the site on Firefox, Opera and Safari, and my site's images cannot be viewed on any browser on my Mac. It's been 24 hours since and the problem persists. I can see images on all other websites on the internet - it's only my own website that I can't. I run a website that hosts a couple of forums, and yesterday, all of a sudden, I was unable to view any images hosted on my site, including the forum headers and graphics.

I should note that initially, my problem does not sound relevant to Macs, but if you read on, you'll see why I believe it is a problem with my computer.įor reference, I use a 17-inch Macbook Pro that's running on Snow Leopard, OS X 10.6. I'm not sure if the OS X Operating System forum is the right place to post this, but here goes.
