| 82367 | 2002-09-23 23:23:00 | I've been helping a friend design and upload a new web site using Dreamweaver over the last week . We're getting this weird thing - when we view the site online with IE6 or NS7 we're being randomly served various versions of old non-existing pages, with occasionally the correct and updated page, by repeatedly using local 'refresh' . We're using a standard garden-variety 56k modem and a Paradise dial-up account to upload the files via FTP to an overseas server hosted by MyHost . This is driving me nuts . I've several times gone through the whole process of clearing out my local caches, deleting the remote files and re-uploading the site pages - but the old page ghosts remain to haunt me . MyHost say it's Paradise's responsibility, Paradise say it's MyHost's . I see no point contacting Paradise about this again as they haven't bothered to reply to my email query 10 days ago and they probably won't . Customer service is no longer on their list of priorities . Has anyone come across this before? I sure would appreciate some input . John W |

Click OK all the way out and cross your fingers correctly. |
