Check your TCP/IP setting under protocol (right click Network Neighborhood
and select properties).  Your ISP should provide you with a DNS (Domain Name
System) address which your system uses to look up the name you type in
(ie-www.yahoo.com) and return the IP address (204.71.200.69), which is what
your system *really* uses to communicate during an online session under
TCP/IP (or PPP) protocols.
