It started on the day after Christmas. After making some minor
changes on 24 December 2009, I updated a webpage on my website again
to reflect the date (26 December 2009) and uploaded the changed page
using SmartFTP. No problems. Everything ticked along as usual.
But when I went to check how the changes looked in FF and IE, the old
(24-12-09) page loaded without any changes.
Cleaned both caches, but same thing happened.
Cleaned my DSN cache using "ipconfig /flushcache" in run. Rebooted.
No luck.
Went into the file manager for my web account and deleted the page
from the root directory and confirmed it was gone from the "remote"
directory in SmartFTP. But the deleted page STILL loaded in both FF
and IE.
Filed a ticket with my webhost who checked it out on both their US and
European servers. They confirmed that the page was no longer there
and that they got error windows when they attempted to load it. Their
suggestion: get in touch with my ISP and ask them to clear their
cache.
After spending quite a long time with my ISP's "Complex Technical
Issues" team, I was told that the page should be gone within 24-hours.
But no such luck.
Another long call to the support number and the guy from the Complex
Technical Issues team tried loading the pages on his company computer
as well as on his personal laptop, and got error windows telling him
the page didn't exist.
So it appears that the problem could be with my modem or my PC,
because the page (without the changes) still loads on both my PC and
my laptop (using the wireless router connection).
I've downloaded new firmware for both the D-Link ADSL modem and the
LINKSYS wireless router. I've also rebooted and hardbooted both
computers a number of times after flushing their DSN caches. But I'm
at a total loss to think of anything else I can try and thought I'd
ask if anyone on microsoft.public.windowsxp.general has any ideas.
