Might flush windows dns cache incase its somehow gotten corrupt. open a CMD window from the Run line off the start button menu, then type in; ipconfig /flushdns Then if still happens, you might want to use windows search feature, put a check mark in the box for advanced. Search for the hosts file with no extension; HOSTS standard path is C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts right click and open with or send_to notepad. Its a special text file. Do not open it with anything other than notepad because when you save changes wordpad and some other text views add funny carriage returns and formatting which will screw things up. When you type in www.google.com in your browser, that needs to be converted to an ip number and windows will look in the HOSTS file first...then it looks in recent dns cache' which you just cleared,,, before actually asking your isp for googles street address. Anyhow,, in the HOSTS some less than honest exploits will redirect your google search to them from there,,,, so see if it has google listed in HOSTS with an ip number, if so just disable that line by adding a pound sign plus one blank space in front of it like this... # 209.62.176.52 www.google.net

I've found that it's better to not redirect automatically when permenantly changing a URL. With automatic redirects, the user often doesn't notice (or forgets, or whatever) to update thier bookmarks. When the original URL disappears or stops being supported, the users can't find the site anymore. Making them manually click on the link forces them to take notice that the URL has changed and gives them the chance to update their bookmarks...of course, we all always forget to do that anyway...:-) Ideally, you would have the server send an HTTP error code of 301 (Permenant redirect). If browsers actually followed the recommended standard, they would then automatically update the users's bookmark for them. Of course, no browser actually does this, but I still like to send 301's, just for the sake of "doing the right thing."

I'm pretty sure this is Hancocks of Paducah, not the Hancocks fabric chain store. I'm refusing to be tempted by this post, I will not even look...I hope. Sue
