ok, so I installed Firefox 3.5, and opera 10 on her Vista laptop. most 
bookmarks work, but I can't type in google.com or yahoo.com or my.yahoo.com , 
it fails. When I type in att.net, the URL resolves to: 
http://att.my.yahoo.com

so all browsers work for most things, but she can't get to yahoo.com, which is 
where she has her online email ;(
atnex.net works fine. if I type in att.com, it resolves to www.att.com and 
works. what am I missing?
