One of the computers in my house- namely my own- won't let me view Barbelith at all. Both Mozilla and IE tell me that the page doesn't exist about 20 times before I can actually get on to it. Naturally if some other barbie happens to be using the tosserish thing they can find it first time. I know it's the computer and not 1)the page or 2)the network because I have absolutely no trouble with my mother's. So, any thoughts as to what the hell's going on in Anna's land of laptop hate?

A little beyond my ken, but I'd be checking the internet options etc. against those on your ma's machine. It's possible someone has tinkered with your proxy, DNS, blah blah settings for reasons best kept to themselves ...

What's odd here is that it has suddenly started doing it, rather than you having this problem from the start. As Ignatius says, my guess would be the Explorer settings, so those might need tweaking a bit. You could try resetting things by going to Tools, Internet Options, clicking the Security tab, clicking Custom, then changing the setting in the pull down box to 'Medium' (even if it says it already). That may do it.

It's because your computer is on my side.

Yes I can tell, the letter O isn't working completely either. Obviously O is your favourite letter for it stands for Orgone.
