Like puzzledDave I AM able to access my Geocities FileManger and I have even managed to update some files. It's just that I cannot view the website or indeed any Geocities websites. I have written to VirginMedia twice via their website and also written to Geocities, though it really looks as though this is a VirginMedia problem. Hope it gets sorted soon. Cheri.
