I'm having no problems getting yahoo and google to read my site, they have both accessed robots.txt, yahoo indexed my site but the address was not my domain name, but rather my ip number, I have my domain name set up through my registrar to point to my web server, that part works ok, I have not had this problem before when hosting with other companies. it looks like this

Perhaps there are one or more sites that link to yours using an IP address, rather than your domain name?

I think It's working now, however it is too late for yahoo, the problem was I had my domain set up wrong, it was pointing to my dynamic ip service and not my computer.
