Yahoo problems?

I can't access the yahoo home page, or help pages. I can access yahoo mail and yahoo answers. But all other yahoo pages come up as "timed out" or unavailable. All other sites come up just fine. I've cleared my cache and such to no avail. I am wondering if my ip address has been blocked by yahoo for some reason. If anyone can help me I'd be grateful. And does anyone know of a way to find out if my ip address has been blocked by yahoo? And if so, how can I get it unblocked?

Update:

I've been having the problem for several days and can access yahoo on other pc's outside my home. It's not yahoo, and our pc's have been defragged. So it's not any of those. We have two pc's on the same ip address. We also have an older son that may well have done something to get our ip address banned somehow. But thanks for the thought!

    Sometimes the server goes down if Yahoo is updating things. It's usually only temporary and only lasts for a few minutes. Try defragging your computer and see if that helps.
