When Surfing, Wrong Pages Come Up--Wingate Network

[thegreatjeff]

Hi all,
I have a Windows (I currently have 2000, but it happened on 98 too) computer on a network w/ another Windows computer which I go through to connect to the Internet. I use Wingate's DHCP server to automatically route all requests to the Net.

Well, now whenever I go to a page (it can be anypage--Anandtech for example) it shows the MSN page. In the address bar it shows the page I entered with "Default.asp" after it. This only happens when I do a bottom-level domain, i.e. yourname.com--it doesn't happen on yourname.com/hello.htm.

I have a feeling this may be something with the Wingate DNS server. I'm using Wingate 4.0. Whenever I delete the default.asp part and press enter again it goes to the normal page.

Any help anyone?!?!? 🙂

what happens when you go to a page that doesn't use asp? go to slashdot and see if it happens

Well it didn't happen just now. However this problem happens erratically, so I don't know if it'd do it on ASP pages. I'll try it out though.
