I may be wrong, but I do not remember ever needing to type in .com at the end of websites.. for example, to go to macrumors i would just type in macrumors.. now when i type it in, i get domain not found.. did i change a setting or something? how can i get it back?
Got a tip for us?

That shouldn't be required.
What does the error page look like? Is it an error message from Safari, or are you taken to another website? If it's the latter, it may be a DNS issue.
It might be because... either you are trying to use your school's DNS and they're rejecting you or your cable company has a crap DNS.
For the former: If you go to System Preferences -> Network -> Your network connection type (Airport or Ethernet or whatever) -> TCP/IP, look to see if there are DNSes specified. If there are, try taking them out and see if it works then.
For the latter: You would need to add a better DNS to the list, instead.

How in any way, does that give an explanation on what it is going wrong and how he can fix it?

Maybe he can start hitting Ctrl-Enter instead of just Enter? That's a fix in my opinion.
What's with the rolleyes lately around here? Seems like everyone's all tensed up. Your statement was enough without the need to be uptight about it.
At any rate, most ISPs now are pointing users to search engines when they don't enter FQDN's.
