HOSTS was my first guess too. I can't imagine what else it might be...are you still having the problem??
If so maybe try doing IPCONFIG /ALL on the command line and seeing if anything is different compared to the other comps, especially the DNS parts.
This is a long shot too, but it may have something to do with Yahoo's page design, e.g. some code that they use on all their pages. It may not even be DNS or network related at all. I don't think it's this (but can't think of a better example...) but say for example if each of Yahoo's pages used some Java function that only worked with Microsoft VM and on only this box you had Sun Java installed, or something to do with Flash or another plugin like you said, that might cause errors...I'd be interested to know what the problem/solution was if you ever figure it out.
EDIT: maybe try getting a sniffer like Ethereal and watch what's actually going on in the session?? e.g. is DNS broke, or is the page coming down then giving a bogus error? that may help too!
