 * I am not sure this is a WordPress problem but this is the beginning of my search.
   I went to log in to my WordPress to post an entry using the bookmark I always
   use, but it came up as a failed yahoo search. I tried entering the address manually
   with the same result. This is using Firefox browser. So I tried it on IE, same
   result. I checked on my web host account to see if everything there was OK, everything
   was just as I left it, no problem there. It may be a windows settings problem
   or maybe something with the browsers. I am not sure what is wrong. I am thinking
   it may be a windows settings problem, If you know or have a good idea please 
   help, this is really irritating.
 * Thanks

 * You’re right – this isn’t a WordPress problem. If anything it’s a DNS/hosting
   issue.
