This one is driving me nuts! (and it's a very short drive)

[mugitty]

I am using Win98SE with IE6 and osC (much modified with contribs) from 12/17/2002.

 

I am starting with a clean browser (history, cookies, internet saved files all cleared - browser closed and then re-opened) opening to google for a home page.

 

There are 2 situations occurring that I can't understand (maybe someone out there can 'splain to me).

 

1) When I enter my webpage address in the browser without the 'www' and no slash following the 'catalog' directory, the page resolves to the address with 'www'. If I enter it with the trailing slash (catalog/), the page resolves without the 'www' in the address.

 

(This next one is more concerning for search engines' sake)

 

2) Again starting with a clean session on the browser, this will happen no matter how I address the site as described above. The first page opening (index.php) has session numbers attached to all of the products. If I click the back button to go to the previous page (google), and then forward to return to the index.php page, or if I refresh the page, the session numbers are gone and the items all just show the path to each item (ie: http://farmex.now.tc/catalog/product_info....products_id=167 which is what I want).

 

Any ideas why this is happening and how to correct it? (The WWW link is on the bar below)
