Any volunteers? Fellow Mac users? Robert?

Bienvenidos al Hoy Digital and
El Nacional, la voz de todos
The layouts look completely different from the previous Hoy and El Nacional but unfortunately they don't seem to be working very well (for me) and I can't access enough pages to be able to tell if these are indeed the same papers.

It's not you or your computer.
The first 2 links show servor errors, then the following two open the home pages, but when you navigate elsewhere, it also shows a server error, which I guess means, there is a server error, lol.
The important part is that your computer and DNS configuration is OK and I expect they will fix their websites, mañana.

Well that's a relief! I had no way of checking at this end because himself is out all day with Alan and HB at their customary golf game. Minus the 'non-player' this week, I suspect............

I'll keep trying those links, mañana.

For HOY, I just use: Bienvenidos al Hoy Digital and it works like a charm

I seldom read El Nacional.....which used to be one ofthe most widely read newspapers inthe country. they also published ¡Ahora! the political mag.

1 - Click on your Apple menu and choose System Preferences:

2 - Double-Click on the Network icon:

3 - Click on the adapter that you wish to change (usually Built-in Ethernet) and then click the Configure... button:

4 - Go to the TCP/IP tab. If your computer is configured to use a dynamic IP address, you should see a screen like this one (notice Using DHCP in the drop-down box next to Configure):

This is where you can change your DNS settings, by entering the appropriate DNS servers in the Domain Name Servers (Optional) box. (In this case where the 66.151.173.1 and 198.147.76.65 addresses are.) DON'T FORGET TO HIT THE SAVE BUTTON in the lower right hand corner.

Hope this helps.

Good job, Tim.
I knew there had to be a "Macophite" somewhere, willing to help.
