[NTLUG:Discuss] ...a little more on AT&T as it stands...

[Bob Byron]

Just a guess, but take a look at your DNS settings.  The only 
way I can image AT&T redirecting you to the "HowTo" page
is by making the old DNS servers redirect the domain name
there, while the new DNS servers direct you to the proper page.
What is the DNS setting on your server?

Good Luck,
Bob
