    I just danced around the www.windowsnt.digital.com home page and could
    NOT get it to return anything but
    
    http://www.windowsnt.digital.com/notfound.htm
    
    
    The error page says "If the page you are requesting has a .HTP 
    extension, try changing it to .ASP instead."  
    
    That should probably read .HTM or .HTML, *not* .HTP.  Changing to 
    .ASP didn't  work.
     
    Also, the "If that doesn't work for you, you can always start at the top
    level." link results in a nice round trip back to the error page.
    
    Something is broken.

http://www.windowsnt.digital.com/ works fine for me, and all it's 
buttons do too.  For example, the "Products" button (top left) send 
me to http://www.windowsnt.digital.com/products/products.asp just 
fine.

Perhaps you've got something stale in a cache somewhere?

I would try closing Netscape, deleting all the files from your \cache 
directory, and re-open Netscape and try accessing the site again.

c:\program files\netscape\navigator\cache, I believe.

Another [strange] thought ... if you're using a bookmark, make sure 
that you didn't accidentally bookmark the /notfound page, or you'll 
have no choice but to keep trying to access the same [incorrect] 
site.

    Works for me now and I didn't make any changes!  Sorry for the
    fire drill.

It probably *should* say .HTP: I think the site used to use Purveyor, and .HTP 
is (or was) a reasonable extension.

    The external site now uses Microsoft's web server and active server
    pages, thus the .ASP extensions.  You can also expect to see .STM file
    extensions.
    
    Note that the www.windowsnt.digital.com and www.pc.digital.com sites
    were combined a while back, to create www.windows.digital.com.  All of
    the names point to the same IP address.
