I have a problem with my website. This only happens on some peoples machines. Whenever you load the site by its domain name (forthedrivehome.com), none of the images load. But, if you type in the full address of the same page (/index.html), it works just fine. What Gives. Please help.

xp pro and ie6. But it has done this on others computers as well. The people who have problems seem to be in the minority.

They may have cache issues or delays. There is nothing in your code that would indicate it's anything to do with your site. Get more information from them.

Its definitely not a cache problem. I have deleted it numerous times on different machines. I dont understand it. Here's my situation.

*Images wont load on index when the site is pulled by domain name(forthedrivehome.com). Refreshing and deleting cache and history dont help

*Images work when the index is pulled up by its actual address (forthedrivehome.com/index.html)

*All the machines I've checked (3) personally have this problem. One other person has told me it happens to them to. A few other people say it works fine on their connection.

*The only two answers I have are 1. its a problem with my server 2. its some sort of java problem (whole page is in java).

Somebody please help. This is becoming extremely annoying.

Here's my specs
XP pro
ie6

server specs
Operating system Linux
Kernel version: 2.4.20-20.9
Apache version 1.3.29 (Unix)
PERL version 5.8.0
PHP version 4.3.3
MySQL version 4.0.15-standard

I think you have a misunderstanding of your situation, not one element of your page is "in java".

Your answer is either one or the other of the folowing answers.

1.) It's a personal problem.

2.) It's a server problem.

It's not the latter answer from what I can tell.

I truley don't mean to sound harsh, but all is fine from where I'm looking.
