Then, regardless of which other site with the same IP address was incorrectly accessed, it gave the generic "Page Not Found" message along with a message to contact myself as the hosting company. This solved the problem for us and the clients never ended up at the wrong site. Hope that helps, Dan Porter Twin Wolf Technology Group, LLC |
