Help!

I am running OSX 10.0.3 with a 256Mb dual processor G4/450. Sherlock
works fine in a local search mode but will not search the internet. I
have checked my internet settings with our IT people and all seems to
be OK. What happens is that when I start a search the green icon turns
red but no progress activity bar appears. A second click on the now red
icon causes the progress bar to appear but nothing ever happens. I must
then force quit Sherlock.

All my other OSX internet applications function correctly, including MS
Explorer, Software Update, and Fetch. However, in what may be a related
issue, none of the on-line Apple help options work. For example, the
four options of the Late Breaking News do not link to the external help
site.

Have any others experienced this behaviour and/or are there any
suggestions for a solution to the problem?
