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.

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.

The question was previously asked... YES. However, the list of countries ACC ships to will be the limiting factor.
