Hi Lyn, I can't suggest a fix, but I'll just ask if you use Wi-Fi and connect to different Wi-Fi sites without changing your location profile. What I've noticed is that if I changed my internet connection type several times, either by going between ethernet and Wi-Fi, or switching different Wi-Fi locations, without changing location profile, that the behavior you outline may occur if I've used my Mac laptop for some time without shutting down. (And incidentally, I've only seen this behavior with my 2010 MacBook Pro, and with a 2010 MacBook Air that I set up for someone else -- it never happened on my 2008 MacBook.) What is even odder, is that if I am using terminal I can connect out of my laptop with ssh. I just can't connect through Safari, and if Safari doesn't connect, my mail won't update. (I don't have to force quit Safari -- a simple quit will do, but I do have to reboot to get the network connection working again.)
This doesn't seem to happen if I don't change my Wi-Fi source, or if I create a separate location profile for each different Wi-Fi connection and change location profiles. Maybe someone else on list can comment on a possible solution. HTH.
