Hello Geoff ,
Check your DNS configuration.
Did you set it manually? If so, change it to DHCP and see if it helps.
Also, what happens if you do a telnet to the webkit address from the
terminal?
HTH,
André

Okay, I am officially replying to my own post. It's a long story, but to
reduce it to the relevant facts, I am able to update webkit when I attach my
MBP directly to the cable modem via eathernet. When routers are introduced
into the circuit, however, I always experience the symptoms described below.
I've seen this both with my Mother's Linksys router and my d-link DIR655 which
are both at the latest available firmware levels. There is no filtering
configured on either router, and until late December I had no problems updating
webkit from either location.
While visiting the Apple store I had no difficulty updating Webkit using their
hotspot, hence I presume there must be a way to accomplish the task through
routers<smile>. More over, I wouldn't be the only one posting on this.
To reitterate, I have no web filtering active on either device, and as far as I
know, only the webkit download and update check sites are affected. Any
suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Greetings,
I'm having varied symptoms browsing on my MBP. Perhaps the two are related -- I'm guessing so. It
all started when Webkit randomly hung up. I would press the submit button in a form and then
Voiceover would repeatidly announce "safari busy" and "safari ready". Pressing
a key did not take and I had to close and reopen the browser.
Next, I was unable to update Webkit. Since that problem appeared to be unique
to me I erased webkit.app and attempted to download the current build. For
several days now I click on the download link and after about 30 seconds I
receive the following message:
Safari can’t open the page “http://nightly.webkit.org/” because the server
where this page is located isn’t responding.
I can't load that URL on my XP machine either, but can't imagine that my ISP is
blocking it? I'm also having problems displaying other pages. For example,
I'm attempting to register at the Apple developer site and it hangs after I
press submit.
I killed my cookies, but this had no affect. Could not find how to clear any
other cache that could be a factor?
Is it time to reinstall Snow leopard? Btw, version 10.6.7 is installed, but my
problem began before this update was available.
TIA for any suggestions.
Geoff
