Can you post your Network configuration?

To do this open a terminal (Applications --> Accessories --> Terminal) and type:

ifconfig -a

Then copy and past the output to this ticket.

Also if you could post the contents of your /etc/hosts and /etc/resolv.conf file. Do this by typing, in the terminal:

cat /etc/hosts; cat /etc/resolv.conf

Finally, if you could post your routing table. You can get it by typing, again in the terminal:

netstat -rn

Those will probably help in figuring out what your problem is.

A couple of other things that I am interested in. What happens when you type, in the terminal, the following:

nslookup yahoomail.com

Thanks

Okay.

I still need the information that I requested. Just follow the instructions and you should be fine.

Thanks

If you can't post it directly, try printing it and then transcribing it to this ticket. I know its a pain, but it should help figure out the problem.

Also, who is your Internet Service Provider?
