Thanks for replying to me. I do have Internet Explorer 7 though right now unsure if it's sp2 or not, I believe it is. When I click on help in IE about IE it shows it's IE7, but doesn't show if it's service pack 2 or not. I guess I will contact earthlink to see if they have this included in their internet connections.

I type newegg.com and it resolves to www.newegg.com. My DNS server and internet explorer tell it that I am trying to go to www.newegg.com even though I enter newegg.com Some websites do not have this luxury and will not work unless you put the www in it. The CTRL+enter works well, its easier to type ebay and hit crtl+enter then it is to type ebay.com as far as your computer and earthlink go... Make sure you have the updated internet explorer, should be version 7, check this by going to "Help" and "About Internet Explorer" I have windows XP SP2 with Internet explorer 7 and I can type newegg.com and get www.newegg.com. This should work on all computers. You might want to check with Earthlink's DNS team and make sure they are resolving www. addresses to the right ones. They may have "Half-assed" it and not written the rules... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Computer Tech Support" group.
