Hi folks,
Ever since I upgraded my Mac Mini with the 2007-001 update, I have been unable to visit certain websites.

For instance, I am able to access Google, but cannot access Youtube.com

When I ping youtube:
PING youtube.com (208.65.153.251): 56 data bytes
ping: sendto: No route to host
ping: sendto: No route to host

I think it is an issue with the Mac Mini itself, because my macbook, while connected to my local wireless network has no connection problems. When I connect my mac mini to a secondary wireless network, I get the same "No route to host" problems.

I read that clearing caches may resolve the problem, so I downloaded Tiger Cache Cleaner, however that did not solve the issue.

I also tried disabling ipv6, and running "lookupd -flushcache"

Can anyone suggest anything else? This is really frustrating being able to only access a handful of websites.

Thanks!

Do a "traceroute youtube.com" in your terminal, and tell us what it says...

Did your mini get an IP or does it have a self-assigned one when this happens?

On the mini turn AP off and back on again. Wait for 5 seconds. Does that help?

There's an AP bug where although the AP network is available and you have good signal strength, the base station doesn't route you through.
