Ive had this situation happen a few times over the last couple months, where I have been on APF, then refresh the page, and the (mac) pie wheel spins, waiting to connect to APF, until it times out and I cannot log on. Thing is i can get on to any and all other sites i try.
I am using an Apple Express wireless router. Ive reset the Apple express router (to default settings, so i had to create a new network) and powered both my cable modem and AE down to power cycle them, but that hasnt done the trick, so far.
Right now, I am hardwired to my laptop via an ethernet cable running directly from my cable modem to my mac. And with this setup, I can log onto APF just fine.
Anyone else have this kind of issue, or know what might be happening? I was thinking the IP in the airport express might be blocking randomly my access to APFs IP, but i cant imagine why it would just suddenly and randomly do this.
All odd, as ive tried the various troubleshooting, and so far, nada, today.
