I have access to all https:// site but can't access any of the normal http:// sites. So here I sit on my PC laptop trying to get some help here.

I have opened Paralells and I do have access to the web via IE. Mail.app has access to .Mac and other SMTP servers. I can see the network drive here at my mom's house. So in other words, I'm only missing http access.

I did clear caches and it didn't seem to help. I haven't had a problem here before and there is nothing special about the set up here. 802.11g, WEP, Comcast HSI. Again, the XP in Paralells has http access but OS X doesn't.

TIA

Update, it only has the problem with my Airport card. Seems my wired connection to the network will allow access to http:// sites thought the WiFi still doesn't. Any takers on ideas here?

Have you tried creating a new location in your network settings and seeing if that works? That would help eliminate possible problems.

Can you access Http from a different computer on the same wireless?

I'll have to try the new location, I'll get back with you on that one.

Yes, WiFi works for everyone on the network including the Parallels XP install on the MB that can't connect. How odd is that? This is why I know it has to be an OS X issue.

Edit: I tried to do the new location thing and it didn't seem to have an effect. I deleted the WiFi profile for the MB also and recreated one without getiing my http:// back either. Weird.
