Have you tried unchecking 'Look for local network

Win95sp2, Opera 5.11 w/o ads (using Opera since 3.62), IEradicator 
has been run.  At the beginning of the behavior below, the computer 
was solo - it has since been joined to another via M$ Networking.  
300mhz pentII, *old* analog phone lines with no option for cable (rural 
location).

I have prefix set as 'www' and suffixes set as 'com,org,net'.  I used to 
have suffixes set as 'com, org, net' but changed that on the outside 
chance that it made some difference.  I believe, in the beginning, I also 
tried typing the extensions with and without commas (gave 'www' a 
comma even though it was only one item, removed commas from list of 
suffixes).  'Look for local network machine' is not checked, and was only 
*very* briefly checked - again on the outside chance that it made any 
difference to 'server name completion'.  'Try name completion, using' is 
*and always has been* checked.

*****Server Name Completion has Never worked for me. *****

I found pretending I didn't have the option in the first place to be the best
timesaver/fix for the situation.
