Tonya,

Maybe, just maybe, Control Panel>network>Highlight your
TCP/IP>properties>WINS configuration tab> Disable Wins Resolution >DNS
Configuration tab> enable DNS>user name in host>ISP name in Domain.> OK>OK
out.

Of course it wouldn't hurt to call your ISP and get their advice.

Tonya,
Some program (usually spyware\parasite) may have overridden the URL prefix
setting?
Open Regedit to the following locations and verify the below default
entries:
Start | Run (type) "regedit" (no quotes)

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\DefaultPre
fix]
@="http://"

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\Prefixes]
"ftp"="ftp://"
"gopher"="gopher://"
"home"="http://"
"mosaic"="http://"
"www"="http://"

Note: edit as needed, *always* Export before editing.

Could you elaborate on that? I don't quite understand your question. You
generally use Ctrl+Enter to add "www." to the beginning and ".com" to the
end of the text typed in the Address bar. I'll watch this thread, send in
more details and I can try and answer your question.
