I run Apache 1.3 on Windows 2000 Pro. Up until earlier today everything was running smoothly. However now if someone tries to go to a page on the site they are redirected to the homepage. For example, people trying to get to get sent to
Has anyone any idea where I can start to look for a solution?

Is this more of a DNS related problem? - see last paragraph.

Some background ...

brisray.com is a domain registered at GoDaddy -
4.33.40.118 is the IP address of the PC - although I use GoGaddy's redirect service I don't bother with masking so it's normal for people to see the IP address.

I use DSL, the IP address canges every so often but not so often as to make the home server unworkable.

I've rebooted the PC several times hoping the problem would sort itself out (it usually doesn't for anything but it's always worth a go).

I haven't made any changes to the machine for months apart from adding HTML files - the last time was last night.

Once on the site, you can go to any page, either through the menus or retyping the page you want.

When a visitor types they get taken to but if they type they get taken to the proper page.

Brisray.com seems to go to an entirely different IP:

host brisray.com
brisray.com has address 64.202.167.129
brisray.com mail is handled (pri=0) by smtp.secureserver.net
brisray.com mail is handled (pri=20) by mailstore1.secureserver.net


Not sure whats up here.


 
Thanks, but I think I know what that is. The IP address is for the nameserver that GoDaddy use to redirect people to my computer.

The more I think about this the more I'm sure it's something to do with the redirection service rather than my Apache setup. I've already asked GoDaddy's support to see if the problem is there, but no reply yet.
