Please see the very lengthy discussion on "Leopard Issues" regarding  
this topic (domain guessing).
Does this behavior also occur in Safari, or another browser.  If yes,  
I suggest the problem is likely
caused by the DNS return value from your ISP and you might try using  
OpenDNS.  Otherwise
try the suggested solutions at Mozilla.com for enabling domain guessing.
