Re: Resizable background Image Problems

[Chris Coyier]

I’ll try a 3rd connection when I get home to see if I can get any access to the site, and also run some traceroutes and the like to see if it’s possible to narrow down what could be causing it. As stated earlier, I really know absolutely nothing about IIS as I’ve hosted on *nix systems for years and years, and would only have need for Windows hosting if I use ASP (which I’ve no real interest in).

It might be worth putting a copy of your index page’s source code here, there might be something inside that that could be triggering this problem. It would be interesting to know how many people are able to see the site compared to how many people can’t.

If you’ve not been told the full error, it is as follows:

MS.com offers this page as advice on how to fix it, do you have access to the areas it’s talking about?
