    I wouldent say you were missing anything, geocities pages are just a load of junk that kids learn HTML with.

    I'm using Airtel and I also used the alternative Tata Indicom

    Nothing will make it open. How was this possible? IP address checking I guess.

    That's mean. Anyhow I was asked to give my last 8 digits of credit card no., so many security stuff to the moron who dealt with my complaint at GEocities.com

    The moron doesn't want to cross-check and look at the wayward reply I get.

    Hello Dilip,

    Thank you for writing to Yahoo! GeoCities.

    I understand from your email that you are concerned about the Geocities
    site is not working.

    It seems to me that there is problem with your account. Customer in the
    US has not reported us this issue.

    If you continue to have problems with this issue, I would like to
    investigate in further detail. For me to look into the problem you have
    encountered, it will be necessary for Yahoo! staff to enter your account
    and conduct some tests.

    Please reply to this message, giving Yahoo! permission to enter your
    Yahoo! Domains account and take those steps necessary to pinpoint the
    cause of this problem and explore possible solutions.

    For verification purposes, please be sure to include the following
    information:

    * Zip Code
    * Alternate Email Address
    * Date of Birth
    * Last 8 digits of the credit card used to bill your account
    * Credit card type

    I would assure you that we will look in to the issue as soon as we
    receive your account information and resolve it for you.

    I look forward to your reply.

    Yes this problem exists for about a month now. Most of the Indian ISP providers installs anti-hacker sofware on user's PC and possibly at their server which allows only some of the ports e.g. 80 . However, it seems Geocities is using some other port for past few weeks and so this problem is only being seen in India.

    I've raised this issue with Yahoo almost 3 weeks back and they are working for a solution.

    Please list your service provider's name here so that enough information can be gathered regarding this problem.

    My ISP is Sify.

    I've also written it to a few news sites and www.digg.com . Hopefully it will be published soon and will help in a quick resolution of the problem.

    You can also check out http://nonadsense.blogspot.com regarding this issue.
