Apple.com webpages do not load

Apple.com webpages do not load When I got to http://apple.com, the page loads fine and perfectly. But when I click on a link (or type it in) to go another part of the website, it refuses to load. Safari 4 tells me it is 'contacting apple.com', but it never actually starts loading the webpage. When I try Firefox it gets stuck on 'watiing for apple.com'.

"As you can post to superuser.com, I am assuming that your network is generally OK. I had a similar problem with not being able to access only adobe.com and it turned out to be some really strange issue with the Dlink routers that I was using at home and in the office. I would try the following:

check with another browser
flush your dnscache with dscacheutil -flushcache
Check that DNS lookup is ok, maybe use the open dns servers just incase there is a problem with the DNS records that your router or ISP has.
Reboot your router / ADSL modem

If it still doesn't work, call your ISP and get them to check if there is a problem at there end.

To fix my adobe.com problem, I did all that, then borrowed someone's ADSL modem and swapped it out. Volia the problem went away. In the end I had to buy two new routers, as one couldn't be upgraded to solve the problem, the other did but died a month later.

Hope this helps."
