Thanks all for helping! All I was wanting people to see when the server is full (mine fills up when I update) is a page that says "Come Back Later Server Full" (or the Sambar default page whatever it is it dosent matter) but instead you see a browser page saying "page cannot be displayed" (the Microsoft Explorer default page) so visitors don't know that is the site is down or up??????? Sorry if I am making This sound complicated! Don't you all set a 'max connection' on your servers?? wether it's 25 or 10,000? Jack
