| 97016 | 2002-11-08 07:40:00 | Do you always answer a question with a question? The "page not found" triggers a possible scenario you have entered an incorrect network address? IE is used across networks in IntRAnets as well as IntERnets. If you are not on a network, do you expect it to resolve a network setting that does not exist? |

| 97020 | 2002-11-08 09:14:00 | There are 2 sorts of networks - internal ones and external ones . The microsoft message applies to internal ones . When you are on the web (external network) a file not found means it's not there . Reasons for it not showing are usually one of the following: - the page was listed in the search engine but in the meantime the page has been deleted by the page owner - the server the page is on is down at the moment (temporarily crashed or turned off) If it applies to all pages - you're connection is down . Disconnect, reconnect and try again . If it stays down your ISP might have temporarily fallen over . Try again later . |
