    Can't find page without the www in IE.
    This is odd. IE finds these message boards no problem, typed just like this in the address bar:

    Catholicrecordsociety.org/business
    Stgabrielradio.com/forum

    ... but for this other one, I don't get a typical "page not found" page, but a pop-up (see below):
    Geneocity.com/boards

    ... why does IE not find the one at geneocity.com?
    If I put - Index in the address bar it finds it no problem.

    What's up with that?

    Are you using IE7? Perhaps it's a matter of setting the search provider correctly:



    Click on Change Search Defaults and set it to Google.

    I'm using (well, not using - but have it for testing webpages) IE6.

    And most odd is that regardless of my settings, it's finding the first two using only domain.com/folder but not the other one.

    Actually it's a matter of the DNS entry. Some entries require the WWW others won't.
