[nmglug] Mac air

[leopoldo at maciasnetwork.com]

Brian,
I also for got to suggest the following, if you have access to another
computer or laptop within the same house, try accessing the
liveauctioneers.com website from another computer/laptop and see if you
get the same 403 error. If you don't, then it's something specific to
your wife's macbook air (which narrows down the scope of the problem);
if you do get the same 403 error on another computer, then it rules out
 the issue is within the old macbook and points to something in the
network routing (i.e. firewall, router, dns, etc...).
