Forwarding issue

[neocon]

My fathers website http://www.davidstowe.co.uk/ is accessible from our home computers, but people are reprting difficulties accessing it from outside.

Would someone mind trying to access it and letting me know if the URL forwards to the host properly please?

Yes works fine here

you normally find problems like this are down to DNS issues, can the people who are unable to browse to the site by name ping the site in a command prompt window? (start --> run --> cmd --> return key --> then just type ping www.domainname.com and hit return). This should be a quick way of checking they can resolve the address or not.

p.s nice artwork

did you design the site? if so you should consider implementing lightbox in the galleries :O

the people who couldn't access the site are old people, relatives, that can barely use a computer!

You've probably seen it just never knew what it was called, example here:

Makes image browsing better in galleries (imo)
