Hi,
I have very strange problem. I have WP 2.1 installed on my web hosting plan and when I try to browse the site w/ MSIE 6.0, it gives me "Cannot find server" but w/ Firefox and Opera it opens just perfect. The other strange thing is that with the same MSIE 6.0 the "wp-login.php" and the entire admin panel are visible, they work perfect. But the public site(the blog + content pages) cannot be browsed.
I contacted my web hosting support and they told me that there is some cache which must be cleared(I don't understand what they mean; they said something about DNS cache...).
Does anybody here experienced such problem and is my problem a WP problem(maybe it is a problem w/ my web hosting / PC / etc.).
Any other page, when point directly to it opens(test.html, test.php, etc.).
Thanks in advance for the answers!

And how do you think anybody could give you any advice if they are not able to check out the site?

Forgot to post the link, sorry!
Check the site w/ MSIE 6.0 and see.

I did. I can see the blog in IE6 - but not your pic in the left sidebar. Probably, because it is a bg image for that div and it has a relative path in your stylesheet. (Why are images stored in the wp-includes directory?)
I see it fine in IE7. I see the picturee in the left sidebar fine. Go figure.
I moved the pictures in the images dir for the theme. But anyway - still don't see the blog in MSIE 6.0. I was wondering if this is connected w/ one HTTP/1.1 hack I added recently...
My web hosting has installed PHP as CGI module and that's why I got blank pages(because of sending wrong HTTP headers...). I saw somewhere that I need to add this hack(I commented a line of code) which will fix the problem. After the modification, this is fixed and I was wondering if this hack causes this IE problem.
After a lot of tests and too much conversations w/ our web hosting provider, the problem still persists. We(me and couple of friends) did more tests, sometimes the site is visible in all browsers(on same PC), sometimes it is not visible in MSIE, sometimes in Firefox... I just don't know what happens. I just want to remind everybody reading this post that "wp-login.php" and the entire administration panel are visible in a 100% in all browsers w/o exception. The funny thing in this story is that on my development machine(Linux) I can see the site absolutely every time but my Windows fellows are complaining too much.
I would hazard a guess thats your problem is related to this:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http://bilyanaraeva.eu/
I'm just guessing here but if a particular browser cant pick up your content-type then it's probably not going to render any content.
@whooami: Thanks for the opinion and guess. You are right about the validator - it says that the document cannot be checked. I tested with "wp-login.php" on the same site and it works!
It looks like I broke something when "hacking" the wordpress code(explanation). So, you mean that some browsers just read the content-type, some not, right?
Now I have to find a way to trick this. Is an upgrade to the latest version recommended? I'm using WP 2.1
