Do this :

First, reboot your machine if you haven't already done so.

Go into your System Preferences and check your network settings. Click on DNS and make sure that the DNS Server listed is the same as your ISP, or if you are using an Apple's Wireless router, that it is set to local (usually 10.0.1.1). Your machine may have somehow had its DNS changed so that any site you try to surf to resolves to a different IP address, hijacking your machine. Once you set it close your browsers and try again, and this should fix your problem.

If that fails call Apple. Support is GOOD and FAST (Like my Mom!).

Hey Mark,

Thanks for the confidence booster about Mac products. How do I check if the dns server is the same as my isp? The way you explain whats going on is whats is happening to my my machine.

I will call apply support tonight.
