Hi all,
I have a strange problem and have been unable to find a solution. Here's the deal:

My web-browsing works fine, except for these symptoms:
- When I try to access a specfic web site (www.spray.se), the page refuses to refresh. What I mean by that is, it displays the same information at every visit, even though I know that the information have changed (I have an account, and am logged in; and I've accessed the page through another computer).

- When trying to access web pages through a wireless network today, no pages worked except the control panel for my own domain. PINGing worked, as well as IM and mail connections. Coming back home, and trying to use my wired broadband connection, I can access web pages, but with the same symptoms as described in the previous paragraph.

- I've tried to access the web through Safari, IE, and Firefox with the same result.

- I've tried to reset Safari, clear the DNS cache, trash Safari preferences, thrashed network preferences, etc, to no avail.

I have absolutely no idea what causes this. I've been looking through recently installed applications, but none of them are likely to have changed network settings.

Any ideas are very welcome!

Best regards,
marcus

Some more info:

I've tried using another account on my machine, but same problems.

I've tried using my friend's iBook (also 10.3), and successfully accessed the web page.

I'm totally lost

I see a lot of references to "JavaScript 1.1" on the source of that page. Are all of your Java plug-ins on the same version as your buddies iBook ? Check file:///Applications/Utilities/Java and view in list view to compare dates.

Java and JavaScript have nothing to do with each other. The versions will tell you nothing about this problem. This sounds much more like a proxy problem. Are you setup at all with a proxy?
