Re: Strange Safari behaviour for only one user ?

Hi again Stephen, When you "Reset Safari..." from the Safari menu bar, check all the options. You could also test the "plist" files. If your issue is specific to a single function of Safari, remove the related "plist" file (found in: MacintoshHD > Users > username > Library > Safari). Drag the

Hello. I am on dial-up with Bigpond. I disconnect then connect. So far the above works for me. Makes Telstra richer as well. ( Extra dial up.) :( Regards from Alan.

Re: strange Safari behaviour

Most people use their ISP's DNS as this provides shorter ping times and frequent requests are cached for quicker responses. However this doesn't mean you can't use another DNS server and I think you can use any you can get an IP for whatever the ISP. DNS servers are set to relay requests to and fr

Wll, it appears from my system log that I am given no option on DNS by my ISP - the wonderful Westnet. I have 10.3.5 running (always a bit scared to do a major update until I see what happens to others out there - Windoze habit of many ouches) and I have **no** DNS specified in the network
