My friend is having a problem getting to my site. I checked everything on there and he is not banned so it must be his computer. He is able to see the main index page but any directory after that he gets Cant be Found error. He has turned off his firewall and everything so I have no idea whats up. Nobody else has a problem viewing my site and he is not banned. He was able to view it a few hours ago but he cant now. Is there a computer setting he needs to change?

Tell him to clear his browser cache, restart the browser, than try again. Also maybe deleting temporary internet files might help it also.

okay he just got a router and now he cant connect to a few sites. His router is wireless and everytime he connects to a few sites, he gets a window that asks for a dial up connection. it weird that most sites work but a few dont. he tried running the wireless network setup wizard btu it wont recognize his desktop. Any ideas?
