Offering observations only, no answers: I've been following the recent cable/router/DNS related threads. It occurred to me of a somewhat similar communications problem I have with that same Safari error, but it only happens when my networking is consistently busy. System configuration? -- Mac Mini: 1.4GHz PPC G4, 1GB RAM, 56K int. modem -- Boot volume: 80GB ext FW, Mac OS X v10.4.6 -- USB Apple Pro keyboard & Optical mouse (no wireless) Apps running? Finder, Activity Monitor, Internet Connect, Mail, Unison (newsreader) -- My news server allows up to 4 simultaneous connections, and I have my prefs set to 3; so, my modem is always busy. When I add Safari, Software Update, iTunes Music Store, or any other active network related app, I get similar kinds of n/w errors?
Safari yields the "Safari can't find the server" error; if I stop the Unison network activity, the Safari error has *rarely* happened. Software Update just sits there after it begins; if I stop the Unison network activity, S.U. proceeds and connects to the Apple server. iTunes Music Store yields the "network reset" error; if I stop the Unison network activity, iTunes connects to the Music Store. All seemingly related to my communications (internal modem) being too busy to carry the addition of more network activity.
