.htaccess file

Hello............

I hope this is the correct forum for my question.

I have a .htaccess file in my web site root directory, that (in addition to other tasks) is supposed to direct anyone who mistypes a page url, to a special page (called 404errorpage.htm - also located in my root directory). This is to avoid them getting a standard "HTTP 404 Page cannot be found" message.

The file seems to work with no problem, except when "I" mistype an address I never get the 404errorpage.htm (when using aol or IE)

However everyone else does! My site is http://www.candylandcrafts.com

So if you type in http://www.candylandcrafts.com/what
you will get my 404 error page. When I do it from my computer I only get the HTTP 404 Page can't be found" message.

I have cleared out all my cookies, but I still never get the redirect to 404errorpage.htm

Any idea what is different on my computer? I only have the problem with IE and aol. But with Firefox and Netscape I get the correct page (404errorpage.htm).

Confused
