Just a thought, perhaps a PLIST entry is corrupt. You mention that you pinged the Exchange server and the website, did you try both the name and the actual IP address. This behavior sounds like a DNS issue where the name may not resolve. If this issue pops up try pinging both the name and the IP address of the server in question, this will narrow down what is going on.

Just my two cents. If you got lost in my tech speak, your tech support will know what to do. : )

Ed,

It’s an Ethernet network and we use DHCP with manual addresses.

Is this an Ethernet or WiFi network are the IP addresses self assigned ?

Subject: [MacGroup] Internet/Email connect problem

I’m having a periodic problem on one computer running Leopard here at our company. Right now this is the only computer running Leopard so I don’t know if it is just this computer or a Leopard issue. The end user says it happens about once a day.

We’re running Safari and Firefox along with Entourage for email and they work fine most of the time. But occasionally if we try to access a website using either browser we get nowhere. If we try to send or receive mail using Entourage it gives us an error message also as if the network were down.

The last time this occurred I used Network Utility to try to ping our exchange server and the website we were attempting to access and it went through fine. I did a traceroute on the website and it went through fine as well, but the browsers and email won’t connect. If we reboot the computer all works fine again for a while.

Would anyone have any ideas where to look for a solution?
