Web Browsing Issue with Leopard

[vwcruisn]

Ok this might sound wierd, but before I upgraded to Leopard, I could type in a website without the ".com" at the end into safari or firefox, and it would take me to the site. Now, if I type in "yahoo" and hit enter, I am taken to a verizon (my service provider) landing page. I have attached an image of the page i land on. How do I fix this so I can revert to how it used to work?

Thanks

Did you try resetting Safari?
Does the autocomplete function not work either? So long as the website is in the history, Safari should fill in the rest of the name (which includes the domain designation, ofc).

apparently its an issue with leopard and verizon service:

i took my macbook pro to a friends house and tapped into her wireless (not verizon) and it worked fine.
