Hi.
For the last 3 days I cannot access ANY Yahoo content on my Laptop, including (most importantly) my e-mail. Yet I can access all other websites as normal. Plus I can access my Yahoo email form a public pc as nomal. Strange. Error message as below.
Any help would be great. Thanx.Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage
Most likely causes:
You are not connected to the Internet.
The website is encountering problems.
There might be a typing error in the address.What you can try:
Diagnose Connection ProblemsMore information
This problem can be caused by a variety of issues, including:
Internet connectivity has been lost.
The website is temporarily unavailable.
The Domain Name Server (DNS) is not reachable.
The Domain Name Server (DNS) does not have a listing for the website’s domain.
If this is an HTTPS (secure) address, click Tools, click Internet Options, click Advanced, and check to be sure the SSL and TLS protocols are enabled under the security section.For offline users
You can still view subscribed feeds and some recently viewed webpages.
To view subscribed feedsClick the Favorites Center button , click Feeds, and then click the feed you want to view.
To view recently visited webpages (might not work on all pages)
Click Tools , and then click Work Offline.
Click the Favorites Center button , click History, and then click the page you want to view.January 29, 2007 at 2:15 am #157473DermotParticipantHave you updated spam filters or any software capable of blocking site via phishing techniques or host file manipulation where it trys to block the ads or sites from open before local dns?
Do you have anti virus software or firewall?
From the sound of it your pc is just blocking the yahoo domain.
Try entering this in your browser http://69.147.112.160
Which is the yahoo mail login server without the domain.
normally if nameserver/dns is broken you would be able to connect direct to ip but not domain.

I tried what u said but no luck. Also temporarily disabled my Antivirus programme, but still nothing.
Will leave it to the experts.January 29, 2007 at 9:25 pm #157476COoKeDMemberhave you tried another browser instead of IE like FireFox?
if it works then somewhere in your IE prefs you’ve blocked all yahoo doms
January 30, 2007 at 6:20 pm #157474DermotParticipantGo to start then run
type in cmd then press enter
a command prompt box should open up.
type in the following two commands and it will list loss after it
ping www. yahoo. com (close the spaces in this url of course)
then
ping 69.147.114.210
do you get 0% loss on both?

February 1, 2007 at 3:55 am #157475DermotParticipantSo it can ping the ip but not the host
thats definately an issue with either your firewall or router or hosts/dns files
You should have got 0% loss on both
Call you ISP and get them to check your primary and secondary DNS on your connection
Tell them you’re able to ping the ip address but not domain
this problem usually happens when you have wrong name/dns servers or they are just down
