Try edit your hosts file and add the following line :

65.54.179.193   loginnet.passport.com

Full file in attach (to put in /Applications/Apollo.app)

Thanks morgane007, your solution worked for me. I had to copy additional 
entries from
the attached hosts file, the entry for loginnet.passport.com alone is not 
sufficient.
