Why won't this ONE website work for me?
« on: August 14, 2006, 10:38:01 AM »
So, I'm supposed to be in charge of the development of the company's website.  I'm not actually making anything, I just tell the people who are making and hosting the site what to do.  But I have a problem.  I can't get to the website from my computer.  Sporadically.  I can go online to different sites perfectly fine, but I can't access that one site.  And then sometimes it will work, but most of the time, not.  I know it's up.  I've asked other people to see if it's up and if I go to a different computer, it's perfectly fine.  On IE, Opera, and Firefox, it's all the same.  I can do everything else fine, but that one site gets a missing page.  Why would this happen?


Fuck, and as soon as I post this, the site works.  wtf, mate.

Don't know.  Maybe?  I think I might bring my laptop into work tomorrow.

is the hosting on an internal server and if so, are you using a VPN at home?

otherwise, weird that it would work for others an not you... :dunno:

No, hosting is done by other people somewhere in California.  It was too much of a hassle to figure out why it wasn't working on the computer I was using.  I just brought my laptop in and worked from there (which gets to the website perfectly fine while on the company's WLAN).  It's easier to show examples from here since I have Photoshop anyway.
