Yes Clive.  I've had a few cases lately where I've had to clear the
Cache in Explorer.  To try an explain it in simple terms, when you
look up a web site, you system usually directs you to a special site
which resolves the long alphabetic name you enter in IE.  That returns
an IP (Internet Protocol) address, which is rather like a telephone
bumber, tells IE where the site is actually located, and passes you
there.

When you do this, your own system "caches" the IP address, meaning
that future searches can find the site quicker.

What can happen is that the IP address changes, and because you have
the old one cached, it doesn't try to look using the long address,
only the IP one.

So what possibly appears to have happened here is that while the
centra name resolution servers have been advised that the old address
is no longer in use, the data is actually still there, and can still
be reached by looking up the IP address.

That's exactly what happened here.  Our ISP moved our web site to a
new server, and didn't remove the version on the old server.  Bad
practice on their part (my ISP's) but not uncommon.  Had they in fact
removed it, our system would have gone hack to the central name
resolution server and queeried it again.

As I said, very basic, but essentially what happens, and why others
can't get at the link you gave.

George.

Interesting as usual George.  I'm not sure how caching works, but
would this result in my being able to download movies which weren't
there when I first cached the page? I used the link a lot in January
and February, then stopped. Just before sending to those who asked for
it, I used it again and the page I went to gave me information about
April 2011 updates. I pasted the link from that page into an email and
sent it, and recipients said: "frustratingly, I can't assess the site
with this link". I'm not complaining, but would like others to have
what I'm getting.

Best,
Clive

It may be that the IP of the address you are reaching Clive is cached
on your system.

I had a similar issue which was only resolved yesterday as it happens.

I'd ammended our web pages, and yet here I was not seeing the changes,
only what appears to be to the old site.

It turned out that our ISP had migrated our web site to a new server,
bit had not removed the site from their old server.

George.

Hello,

I'm puzzled by Mike's problems, because I can access the current vault
and sent Mike the link I used and he couldn't. I'll try to remember to
send from home tonight and see if anyone can make sense of this
anomaly.

Best,
Clive

Here's what came up when I googled, so I guess you may just have to
wait.

"Blind Mice Mart

"Blind Mice Mart is closed for renovations A new and improved Mice
Mart is on the way! We are targeting July 1st to open the new site!"

Hi Peter and listers,

I'm glad for you; unfortunately I'm still unable to access it; very
strange.

Cheers,

Mike

Hi, the blind mice movie vault is now suddenly working for me and
hasn't for

months. I see they are busy upgrading their website etc so not sure if
that's why. Try the link below:

What you are suggesting is tantamount to hacking, which is not
condoned in any way, shape or form here.

Subject: [access-uk] audio movie site and blind mice folder

Hi everyone
Two things.
First, can someone please help me work this out. My friend reckons
that maybe the blind mice have all their movies in a folder in
sendspace, so, if this is true, all we need is for someone who knows
much about computers to help work out what the address of that folder
is, then us who can't get to blind mice can just go directly and
choose files from the sendspace folder. Have also just found this link
for another place where you can get the audio movies. There isn't I
don't think as much as the blind mice used to have, but there is quite
an ok collection.
