“One of several buggy areas of Mac OS X is the ‘lookupd’ program, which is responsible for the critical job of translating hostnames (e.g. http://www.apple.com) to IP addresses (e.g. 17.254.0.91) needed to actually make a network connection. We discussed these problems last year and again this past spring, but they continue through today’s Tiger 10.4.2,” MacInTouch reports.
We’ve received a few (less than ten) emails reporting issues that may be related to this problem. We have not experienced it ourselves.
