They don't, up to the filename. In your case,

http://www.compu-help.us
and
HTTP://WWW.COMPU-HELP.US

will go to the same place. The rest, which is a filename, is
case-sensitive. Especially if it's running on some UNIX flavor (as most
servers are).

http://www.compu-help.us/BIOS_access.htm versus

http://www.compu-help.us/bios_access.htm

With Firefox, but I would hope hte browswer makes no difference.

No. It's a filename on the server, and this particular one doesn't
show you 404; otherwise you'd be seeing that.

Try:

and

So it can only matter after the last slash? (In a url with more than
one slashes.)
