yahoo problem
my computer is currently on a network in my school. The problem is I cannot search for anything using Yahoo. Whenever I do, it just goes to the familiar white page saying it could not find the address. How do I fix this?

Your school probably has it blocked...Do other web sites work?? If so then that is probably the case....

If you are using Windows XP, flush your DNS cache. Open a command prompt -
ipconfig /flushdns |

It has to be a DNS caching issue.
Host name: www.google.akadns.net IP address: 216.239.39.99 Alias(es): www.google.com Host name: www.yahoo.akadns.net IP address: 216.109.118.65 Alias(es): www.yahoo.com |

Try to get to one of them using the IP address in the navigation bar of your browser. If it works then it definately a DNS prob in your PC...
