Re: Spam:****, Re: alternativephotography.com and cyanotype
Well, I guess we mean different things by accessibility. I'm not
talking about "not found" errors; I never got a "not found" error,
but I couldn't see anything on the site; it wasn't accessible to my
browser in the sense that the information wasn't available to me,
even though I could arrive at the site without any problem. This is
why I write my own site with the most primitive html, so that anyone,
with the most ancient browser or hardware, will always be able to
access the information that's there.

Katherine,
Don's right. Browsers have absolutely nothing to do with whether
you can
access a page. At the very most extreme, different browsers will
display
pages differently, nothing more. "Not found" errors are browser
independent; they are usually caused, as Don mentioned, by
configuration
problems somewhere down the line (computer's firewall, wireless
router,
internet provider, etc.).

Well, I hate to disagree with such confident certainty, but the fact
is that before I changed computers and browser, I could not access
that site with the browser that was on my computer, and if there was
something I really wanted to see on the site, I had to start up a
browser I didn't like and didn't care to use as a rule, (it was very
slow and took forever to open and close and download things, in
comparison to the older browser I ordinarily used) in order to access
the site. This was inconvenient at best and exasperating at less than
best. With the computer I have now and the browser I have now, the
site is easily accessible. So it doesn't make sense to me to say
that the hardware or software doesn't have anything to do with it.
Besides, if software didn't matter, why would you get those messages
one sometimes gets that say "this site is best viewed with Microsoft
Explorer v. xyz" or whatever the site is optimized for.

FWIW, I can get there with any browser I use, Opera, IE, or Mozilla.
Assuming that two users on the same wireless LAN can't surf to a
common URL
is there a possibility that Chris's ISP DNS can't resolve that URL
or that
there could be a configuration problem with the wireless router (not
likely.)
There maybe security settings that are blocking that URL, either on
the
wireless LAN router or client.
But what ever the problem is, it certainly isn't due to the site
itself (as
long as it is up.)
You can go to this web page which may help resolve your problem.
www.DNSstuff.com
Perhaps this will help.

Yeah, usually that is the issue, but this time I have done that, I
have even
googled the name and clicked on the link in google, I have had my
son in law
do the same with his computer, and neither of us can connect to it--
it says
it is "not found". He has Mozilla Firefox or whatever it is
called. It is
really odd. Especially, eric, if you are able to connect and so is
John and
I can't, nor my son in law (who is using the same wireless server I
am).

You need the www. in front or it won't work.

BTW, speaking of books, Malin has put out a nice, user friendly

text with great pictures, that should be available on her
website, too. I
would highly recommend it for kindergarten to college level
students/teachers.
