What happens if you type the address in, do you get the right site?

I'd normally says something was wrong with your bookmarks, but not on  
both programs.

Start Terminal (in Applications/Utilities) and type the following into  
the box:

host www.cnn.com

report what you get.

I get this:

dbdev2:~ johnson$ host www.cnn.com
www.cnn.com has address 157.166.255.19
www.cnn.com has address 157.166.255.18
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached


Which means there's some networking issues going on, whether locally  
(to me) or at cnn or somewhere in between.

When I do:

host www.apple.com

I get:

www.apple.com is an alias for www.apple.com.akadns.net.
www.apple.com.akadns.net has address 17.251.200.32


17.*.*.* is Apples Class A network. One of the first companies to get  
on the Internet, and one of the few that has a class A network all  
their own.
