Can't access yahoo from MBA

[racefan]

Help!

I can access every other web page that I usually go to but I cannot access Yahoo. I tried my work pc and it loads just fine there. I also tried Firefox and Safari and neither worked. Any ideas?

No works fine for me.

Any ideas on why this would happen?

Ran traceroute and that came back unknown host

Ran a Ping and that came back "cannot resolve www.yahoo.com unknown host"

Any ideas?

Service provider is having an issue!! I realized that my work pc connects through a tunnel and that is how I was getting on with that computer.

maybe try changing your DNS. you can use any public DNS but here's a HOW TO by OpenDNS:

having same problem with messenger and yahoo.com

can't access yahoo messenger or yahoo webpage from two different macs in my house (mac book and mac desktop). when i try to login to messenger it says i am not connected to the network. any other website or app works fine. tried the dns suggestion and it didn't work. anyone else having this problem and have any suggestions?

i now this sounds obvious, but i've missed doing it a couple times myself-- have you turned everything off, rebooted the modem, waited a moment, rebooted the router, waited a moment, then rebooted the computer?

i had tried that and just did it again and still not working. i also checked for updates and installed any that were there (was one for Safari but didn't help problem).
