YES! The winner receives a $50 gift certificate. As long as you live in one of the counties Autopia Car Care ships to, you're in like flint!

Bad news Kikkomann... we don not currently ship to the PI. We may soon, as I am working on better fraud prevention. Enter anyway, because I can work with you if you win.

I had trouble accessing the page here at school. So I remotely access my home computer ( http://www.logmein.com ) and it brought up the page with no problems.

Web browsers like firefox or IE didnt make a difference either here or at home.

I believe the issue stems down to DNS ( dynamic naming services.) I think some ISPs DNS are having trouble decoding your URL because of the :82 in it. David you could either give the IP ( xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:82/contest.asp ) possibly or you users that are having problems could try using http://www.opendns.com/ as your dns server. of course this doesnt solve problems users have in public places like work and school.

I tried doing a look up but this didnt work.
67.15.4.16:82/contest.asp

Good point. This is a temporary location for the page. I coded the program in a few hours in ASP. I don't have ASP on the autopia.org server and the Yahoo Store that www.autopia-carcare.com is on has no scripting at all.

I will look for a better solution. Thanks for the tip that it might be a DNS problem.

P.S., If you ping ratings.theperfectshine.com:82 it works fine. You don't ping the page itself.

Guess I should try it at home instead of work.
