  I have temporarily switched locations. The new one has no wireless, just ethernet.
  
  
  
  Everything works with the connection(FireFox, ports, NewsFire) EXCEPT Safari.
  
  
  
  Safari just gives me "Cant open Page". I have quit and reopened it.
  
  
  
  Any ideas on what might cause such a thing?
  
  
  
  Thanks for any tips...
  

  
  

  1. Check the proxy settings in System Preferences->Network for the problematic location.
  
  
  2. Try disabling IPv6 for that location.
  
  
  3. Did you try entering a site's IP address in Safari (I heard some people encounter random DNS-related bugs when switching locations)?

  Thanks for the reply.
  
  
  
  I am back at the wireless site which works at the moment, so I cannot test.
  
  
  
  It seems so funny that FireFox can switch locations, but Safari can't.
  
  
  
  Next time I get it I will test the DNS bug.
  
  
  
  Thanks again for the tips...
