okay... you will not believe this....

1) i type in a url = fishreports.net (in IE) --- it thinks for a while
2) i see in the status bar at bottom left of the browser, it is screwing up again... BUT wait... the status is changing :
first it said this: http://www.[url]www.fishreports.net.org[/url]
then it changed to: http://www.[url]www.fishreports.net.net[/url]
then back to the .org....
then
(usually, it ends up at page not found.. but this time

3) if finally ended up at this url
http://www.net.net/site.asp?Keywords=fishreports


so, i type the url again... fishreports.net === it then goes straight to the site


WTF!!!!!!!!!!!
 
OKAY... more info.... Has anyone else noticed this:

you typed domain.com into address/URL field on IE and hit enter:

then the browser thinks/pauses .... at the bottom left, in the status text, this is occurring:

http://domain.com --> changes to
http://www.www.domain.com --> changes to
http://www.www.domain.com.org --> changes to
http://www.www.domain.com.edu --> changes to
http://www.www.domain.com.net --> changes to

I was prompted a message box/dialogue box saying:
"IE could not find the page" --- NEVER EVER SEEN THAT BEFORE

then it takes me to the MSN search engine page when a search already completed for "domain.com"

Amazing.... I think all my problems is something that IE or MS is doing???

--- yes, I know... don't use IE or MS ---


any thoughts?
 
bump... so no one has seen activity described in the last 2 messages?

I feel as I'm very close to figuring out the problem
:)
 
I';ve seen that, happens in Firefox too. It seems as though the browser checks every combination of .com, .net, and .org it can before it gives up. However, I have never seen IE come up with a windows saying it cannot find it. Hmmm...
 
buy what is doing that????
and why is it checking...
especially when the address I type in IS valid and correct and the site does exist!!!

and why does it take me hitting the refresh button for the site to come up (ie, for the browser to actually bring up the site)

????
