Hi Norm & Dudley, Many thanks for your replies. It does look that there is something wrong with my settings. I am currently talking to Westnet, my ISP, and they are investigating and will call me back hopefully with a solution.
In the meantime I received a reply from Apple support who suggested that the ISP¹s cache may be the problem. They have suggested something but unfortunately that has not worked. Strange that I can surf, retrieve my mail from my ISP¹s account, Yahoo and Mail.com. No problem with accessing Apple¹s main Website either!!! And, to my knowledge I have not changed anything on the computer except for the latest security update. Anyway, I¹ll post the solution when I get it. It might come in handy for someone else. Regards, Philippe PS Norm, it is horribly hot in Perth right now at 10:53!!! PPS I just heard from Westnet who are having no problem with accessing the .mac site. As far as they know, other customers of theirs having a .mac account are encoutering no problem at all. So its something here on my machine or possibly modem which may be the cause. Will keep looking. on 12/12/06 9:49 AM, Norman Leslie at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi Philippe, > > I'm down in Bunbury and I'm having no problems connecting to .Mac. > > I hope you are able to solve your problem soon. > > > > Norm Leslie > 54 Dunstan Street > Bunbury > W.A. > Australia 6230 > 08-9791-3470 > 0429-91-3470 mobile > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > > > On 09/12/2006, at 9:27 PM, J Philippe Chaperon wrote: > >> Dear WAMUG'rs, >> >> Is there anyone else having problems connecting to .mac?
