Doing some google earth map work.....

And for some reason, MRDS nor the folios are working for me. Can anyone confirm if they are having the same issues? It makes it really difficult if I cannot use them.

You can do a traceroute on your Mac by going to Applications --> Utilities --> Network Utility.

Choose the "Traceroute" tab, type in "www.mylandmatters.org" and click the "Trace" button.

The first part of the route displayed is from your machine to your Internet provider and the second part is into Land Matters. If there are ** asterisks before the part going to Land Matters then the problem is the backhaul DNS service for your provider.

You can do all this in Terminal with the same commands Rob in KS shared but the Network Utility gives a more understandable display and gives you a boatload of other network tools at a mouse click.

Sounds good, but I don't have a "network utility" app. I have disk utility, but no network utility. Next idea?

You must be running Mavericks. Apple moved it to System --> Library --> Core Services --> Applications -->Network Utility.app

If you haven't updated to Mavericks OSX 10.9.5 that may be the cause of network slowdowns. Mac operating systems and their updates are free so no reason not to update. We run 7 different OSX versions on the same computer, including 10.9.5

I haven't upgraded to Mavericks, because I run Parallels and they want $149 to upgrade THAT program to run Mavericks. Parallels isn't THAT important to me to spend $149. I need it to run my PC quickbooks program on my mac. I think Hefty is right, this is getting a bit complicated.

I guess I will just stick to plodding along doing it the way I am used to. I took a look at Arcgis, and the $2500 a year was a bit steep for this poor boy.

Actually, Clay the Maverick instructions worked. Go figure. I didn't think I upgraded..... Hmmmm

So, traceroute had 64 hops max, 72 byte packets. I pinged your website and: 0.0 packet loss, so I have no clue why it is running so slow.
