"" DNS Server Error when autosearching from address bar

[Blindsite]

I am running IE6 v 6.0.2800.1106 with 128 bit encrypt.

I have installed Service Pack 1 and the following patches:
Q824125, Q330994, Q313829, Q832894, Q837009, and Q831167

I have run all malware and bho scanning software to no
avail.

I have my browser set to use YAHOO for all searches
including address bar autosearch. I have my IE6 "Search
from the address bar" options set to "Just display search
results in the main window."

When I type any phrase into my address bar, instead of
finding myself at YAHOO with my search results, as has
been the case for the last 5 years, I get my phrase parsed
in the address line (in this instance, my phrase was
sport.)

http:///? sport

And I get an error screen that says:

The page you are looking for is currently unavailable. The
Web site might be experiencing technical difficulties, or
you may need to adjust your browser settings.

Please try the following:

Click the Refresh button, or try again later.

Cannot find server or DNS Error
Internet Explorer

=====================

When I click my search icon in the tool bar and open a
search frame I DO get YAHOO.

However, when I click on the CUSTOMIZE button in the
search frame I get

"Service Unavailable - DNS Failure - The server is
temporarily unable to service your request. Please try
again later."





Can anyone tell me what I have going on here?

Thanks,
Blindsite

Microsoft has lost a link or redirect site on their network.

It looks like they are no longer supporting Autosearch!

Nope.
