    I have parallels on a macbook and airport as the network. Suddenly not all of my web pages can load. I cannot get Google, Yahoo, Ask, MSN to load but many of my favorites do. I have tried tinklering with all of the settings without success. I've also got one my work sites loading, but I'm getting an xml error message once I'm in

    Sounds like it could be a problem with cookie settings.

    I thought of that, but it happens for sites I tried for the first time. It seems to be affecting search sites more than anything else. I deleted the cookies under internet options. I entered Google by the numeric address and got the same response.

    It sounds as if something is interfering. Did you download and install anything you weren't sure was safe? Could you have a virus. Do you have some ISP's magic not-too-clear-what-it-does-but-they-want-me-to-install-it stuff?

    Nope! No viruses detected. No spyware and I haven't downloaded anything. It's bewildering, because many sites are fully accessable, but so many of the sites that are not have to do with search engines. I think this happened after the 10.4.7 update. I also have boot camp on gthe machine and when I use Windows via BC, everything works fine.

    As an experiment, perhaps you could download and install either Netscape or Firefox, and try it with the default settings. If that works, your IE settings may be at fault (or you may just want to use another browser).
    Other than that, I'm out of ideas.
    Good luck.

    That's all the ideas you need on that that front Joe. Changing browser should be considered an absolute must.
