YAHOO!

Sorry, the page you requested was not found.
Please check the URL for proper spelling and capitalization. If you're still having trouble locating a destination on Yahoo!, try visiting the Yahoo! home page (www.yahoo.com), or look through a list of Yahoo!'s online services. Also, you may find what you're looking for if you try searching below.

They don't like you. Maybe you shyould contact them and ask what it is that you did to offend them.


Edit: Spelling, too many beers.

Check your hosts file and see if something like an ad blocker or popup killer didn't add an entry in there. It should be in \windows\system32\drivers\etc if you are using W2K or XP.

If not, I suspect your ISP is having DNS issues.

Sounds like a DNS problem.

Try checking your hosts file (c:\windir\system32\drivers\etc\hosts if you're using 2k/xp, replace windir with your windows directory) as someone else mentioned. See if something may have added yahoo or one of yahoo's subdomains to it.

If you're using Win2K/XP you may also want to try typing ipconfig /flushdns in a command prompt.

Does this only happen with one browser? Try different browsers if you haven't already. If it only affects one browser, maybe try wiping that browser's cache/history? (going out on a limb on this last one)
