Three out of four times I try I can't access my own web
site whether I use IE or NN. The site is hosted on a
remote server. I do not have a local network (just a home
PC). The site is a standard http://www.mysite.com type
site. I am running Windows ME on a Dell PC. I have
pingged the connection and all seems well. I can reach
all other sites no problem and all of my friends say they
can access my site no problem. Even when I click on a
remote link to my site posted on another web site I often
get the standard "HTTP 404 - file not found" error
message. When I can access my site everything seems OK
with the site. Any suggestions? (p.s. obviously I am not
too computer literate so easy on the jargon OK?)

Hi,

Do you have an idea of the availability of your site? Netcraft.com might
give you an idea. Of course, you check your site far more often than your
friends do.

Kind regards
