It's all about DNS entries. When a domain name is setup, names like WWW, mail, POP and such will get defined separately. If nothing is defined for www.xyz.com the DNS server will not know where to send the traffic for it. So if it finds an entry for XYZ.com, it will send the traffic there hoping for the server to know what to do.\nTypically when http traffic gets to a server, it will be forwarded to a gate 80.\nWhen you type xyz.com in your browser, your computer send a request looking for the server responsible for http traffic for that domain. When you get no response it is because either the DNS entries are not correct or there is no default http server for that domain. If you type in www.zyx.com and get the site, that means the DNS server was setup to know www.xyz.com but doesn’t know what to do with and requests that only asks for xyz.com.

Discrepancies in security settings can cause this.  If one computer has a firewall it may be preventing access to a certain site.  Same goes with differences in browser settings, anti-virus, etc.

Server listens to a port (usually port 80 for http traffic).  When you send a request for a webpage, your browser sends it to port 80 by default.  Since the server is listening on that port, it replies with the webpage.  to change the port the browser send on you will need to add :xxx to the end of the domain.  For example:\n\nwww.yahoo.com:888\n\nThis would send on port 888.  Unless the server is listening on 888, you won't get anything back from it.

open IE- Tools _ internet option and check the home page, if it is yahoo then there is no problem.If it is not yahoo.com then change to yahoo.com\nAnother reason why this happens is, if you have an aol connection, as soon as you connect to the internet the 1st page that goes is to the homepage of the ISP. AM not sure about this, someone may give you a beter answer.

Any adress that contains the words register or admin @yahoo.com is IMPOSSIBLE to create (they are reserved). Yep, it's gotta be spam. Check if it is signed by the Yahoo DomainKeys. If not, notice this problem to the Yahoo administration.

It's pretty much the foundation of the internet... it identifies your computer uniquely out of all the computers in the world. Think about it, let's say you wanted to you go yahoo.com (which you obviously did) you type it into your browser and hit enter, and your computer sends a message to yahoo.com saying basically "Hey, I want to look at your page" but without a unique identifier for your computer how does yahoo.com know *where* to send that page that was just requested? It can't just send the page to every computer in the world and hope it gets to you, it needs your ip address so that the page goes right to you.

When you put a link in an answer, make sure to include the "http://" part\n\nIf you don't use that then a web address looks like this www.yahoo.com\n\nIf you use it, then you've got a clickable link, http://www.yahoo.com

Some web sites will check the referrer site to be sure that it is accessed from a site that should have rights.  In other words, to prevent certain attacks on the page it checks where the connection is coming from.  I hope that this helps you understand better.

Website address works fine , no redirection , no fwd to any other website.\n\nBut be careful to buy online , check secure online paymet certificate.

An IP (internet protocol) address is the "real" address where websites exist on the internet - almost everyone uses a much easier pseudonym address, like answers.yahoo.com, rather than type the equivalent IP address, which is 68.142.226.33.\n\nI can't imagine why you'd want to use the actual IP, but if you wanted to, try typing 68.142.226.33 in the address bar, rather than answers.yahoo.com - you'll find yourself at the Yahoo! homepage.\n\nPerhaps if you were more specific - what do you want to type the IP address for?

If you cannot open the site, it could mean a couple things.  Either: a) the site is down; b) your internet connectivity is down; or c) your DNS servers are down and are not resolving to the correct IP address.  Instead, you may have to use the numeric address to connect.\n\nHowever, that may not necessarily work, since some Web site will examine the URL that is passed to determine whether or not they route the request to a specific Web server.

If by Yahoo website you mean your site is hosted at Yahoo, then it is fine. What is against the TOS is only when you put in one page both Yahoo YPN ads and Google Adsense ads. Google Adsense's TOS does not say anything about where the website should be (and shouldn't be) hosted

i already typed this thing once and accidentally went to another page i hate it when i do that anyway: i had alot of trouble with site that were too expensive (there arent any that are free) yahoo has a free domain but you have to host there and thats too expensive on yahoo) or just didnt look trustworthy. but i found a good one, its cheap (especially for people that are just doin this for fun) its www.aplus.net. (what i did was buy the domain for $1.99/year through yahoo and hosted through aplus since its only $7.46/month compared to like $20.00/month. NOW IF YOU DO FIND SOMETHING THATS TOTALLY FREE PLEASE LET ME KNOW I HAVE SPENT COUNTLESS HOURS ON THIS COMPUTER LOOKING FOR FREE. (check out my site: www.wyndee.web.aplus.net) see if you like it and they have so many layouts that would do a sports page justice, ok im rambling, have fun.
