If I type...

http://www

...into my Internet Explorer address bar, I am taken to http://www/index1.htm - web page for the Woolworths Group.

My boss gets the same.

Yet everyone else in the office gets a 'page could not be found' error message, which is exactly what I would expect.

Here at work, I'm using IE6 on Win98 SE with none of IE's automated search options switched on.

Surely that's not a legal URL?

What do *you* get? OS and Browser name/version please, if you can be bothered.

So, only a few of us have the Magical Web Browsers then?

Aren't we privileged!

i am using a spectrum zx whatever and i get the FBI's homepage...oo er

seriously though i get "page cannot be displayed"

sorry, forgot to add PC I.E 5

I got 'page not found'

Looks like you and your boss are the odd ones out wookiee.

WTF!

mine went to the virgin.net home page.
(the entertainment type-thing, nothing rude)

i'm on an i-mac with IE 4.5 by the way

i know ie 4 or 5 used to complete the url for you as you typed could be the reason

I get a 'page cannot be displayed' screen!

Windows XP and IE6, error message for me...

So did I????????????????

I'm using IE6 on WinXP and I get the "page cannot be displayed" screen.
