For those of you running Tiger (build 8A420 or later), when you open Safari and type "anandtech" or "slashdot" without filling in the www or the .com/.org, what happens?
I'm trying to figure something out, please let me know what build you're running as well as what happens. Thanks.

How could it be a webserver or proxy when it only happens after a certain build.Is safari going else where to resolve incomplete URLs (such as anandtech or slashdot) or is it looking at your previous visited websites.

It's either a DNS server or a proxy server you have set up.If you are using DHCP on the mac, it is possible one of your PCs is answering the DHCP request and giving you a bad DNS server (if you have entered it manually).

I've got a developer bias, so there are three things that immediately leap at me:Core Data
Core Image
Core Video
From a user perspective, I'm really hyped about Spotlight and Dashboard. Expose was such a behavior changing tool that I look forward to Dashboard. Spotlight sounds cool because I love the iTunes database, and anticipate an OS wide search database.

Michael2k- I haven't played with any of the early Longhorn betas, I'll probably wait till' the updated build at WinHEC. Not quite sure how my feelings for Tiger bear any indication fo how I'll like Longhorn though.Don't get me wrong, I love OSX in general and for the most part it's probably my favourite OS but Tiger hasn't nearly lived up to the hype IMHO.
Some decent speed improvements, a few small but tangible tweaks. Still, on the whole I haven't sen anything to make it strike me as a particularly substantial improvement let alone one warranting the hype Tiger has recieved.
Take out Spotlight, and the long awaited (at least by me) RSS support in Safari and my experience with Tiger has been precious little different then it was under 10.3.8

Rura, Are you having the same problem Anand is with anandtech.com without the www. in front?Rura - Friday, April 22, 2005 - link
Dtravis, 8A428 is 8 builds after 8A420 and is the release version. That said, it's somewhat half-baked and I would expect a 10.4.1 (and a QT 7.0.1 for that matter) to follow in short order after April 29th.I've also had some weird problems with archive and installs (with user migration) and upgrades (although that's no surprise in a major OS upgrade), so I'd recommend trying an archive and install with user migration first. Then, if that doesn't work, do the full on archive and install with no user migration. The upgrade option is dangerous to say the least.

I don't know much about Build numbers with Tiger. Is that the latest or an older build? I noticed a few others that said it worked fine had a higher number build. I know that the 10.3.8 update to Panther caused DNS issues with people running Netgear routers, and it was fixed in 10.3.9. I wonder what is up?Anand Lal Shimpi - Friday, April 22, 2005 - link
wbwitherNo, the PCs are fine. Only the Macs running Tiger builds after 8A420 have this problem.
Take care,
Anand

Wait, so it's happening on your PC's now too?Anand Lal Shimpi - Friday, April 22, 2005 - link
blckgrffnIt must be, I guess the G5 is jealous that all of my PC test beds lately have two processors in them :)
