Hi chaps
I have been struggling with a web hosting problem for some weeks now which has me completely baffled!
Because of persistent FrontPage extension problems I arranged to move the UK NEQAS website from one of Active 24's (previously VI) oldest servers to one of their new ones.
I began editing some pages from work and everything seemed fine, but I quickly discovered that whereas I was seeing the changes at work, they weren't visible when I logged on from home (despite clearing the cache and refreshing), also I couldn't get FrontPage access from home.
I have engaged in a long game of postal chess with the host, who persistently blame me for uploading the site wrongly, but they haven't explained what is happening.
Last night, however, they told me how to ping the UK NEQAS URL from home and work. This revealed that from home (and the outside world) the returned IP address is the correct one for the new server where the UK NEQAS site should be. From work, however, it tries to ping a different IP address and times out.
Clearly I am editing a copy of the UK NEQAS sebsite sitting on another server when I am at work, but this is not visible to the outside world.
The key page is the one for the ACBWM meeting which is still the old version created on 13th October. When I look from work I see the new version updated on the 31st.
Can anyone explain what is going on here and how I can point my work computer to the new server?
Thanks
