-- really weird.
Reloaded Airport software.
Tried several different browsers -- same results.
Couldn't get to localhost or any of my fixed IP addresses -- but could
still get to a few web sites
Went to another computer -- no problems.
Decided to restart the problem computer but Safari browser wouldn't
quit (restart aborted).
Manually killed Safari & was going to continue restart -- on a whim I
opened another browser -- everything worked???
Started Safari -- it worked too???
I never did restart the system. Apparently Safari was doing something
(memory leak, overloading ports, etc).
Don't know the cause, but it is gone now.
Thanks for the ideas -- gives me some things to try next time it
happens.
The only other times I saw anything like this since (some sites
available, many others not) since 1996 were:
1) When a backhoe took a major cable in Mawah
2) When some Major DNS master servers went into a tailspin over a
holiday weekend
But this time it appears it was in my box!
