Hi All, Earlier today, my airport extreme seems to have gotten all messed up.
Here are the symptoms: Some web pages load most of the time: http://google.com Some pages never load not: http://apple.com It doesn't matter if I use straight IP addresses Works: http://74.125.157.99 (which is Google) Fails: http://17.112.152.57 (which is Apple) It doesn't matter if the two sites are hosted in the same building from the same rack of computers (but with slightly different IP addresses): Works: http://gllamm.org Fails: http://stata.com I've already restored default settings on the Airport Extreme (twice, to be precise). If I bypass the airport extreme and connect directly to the cable modem, the problems disappear... This makes me think that the router is a mess, though it seems very strange to me that it can selectively fail. Here is the question: is there a way to clean out the DNS cache on an Airport Extreme? Perhaps this is the wrong solution, but it seems to be the only thing I can think of. If the router truly is dead, I'll be very disappointed, because the router is not all that old (maybe a year and a half?). Hardly worth the $179 I plunked down for it after being sick of NetGear routers breaking after 2 years. Shouldn't electronic equipment do a little better when not being overheated or have water spilt all over them? Bill FWIW, I tried getting a TrendNet modem for my apt in Texas, only to have it show up DOA. I wonder if the problem is me.
