That looks like a standard 1 and 1 error page normally associated with going over your bandwidth quota for the month.

I'm getting the same Error 404 notice, and I don't have a bandwidth limit.

Not your bandwidth, but the owner of the website.

When you buy wespace it normally comes with a limit on the bandwidth, meaning that the more visitors you have viewing it over the month the more bandwidth required.

Any chance of someone nipping round there and putting another shilling in the meter?

404 ERROR

Post by dennisj »

404 Error is, as usual with things Microsoft and the web, a somewhat complex but unhelpful message that is returned to your screen following an abortive connection.

For more information - if you really want it - try this link:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/404_error

Otherwise just accept that something at this moment in time is SNAFU and the man with the shilling for the meter, the man with the - new 'dongle' and/or the man with the new plug for the modem/camera/server/uplink/downlink/or just the fuse for the plug in the wall - will be calling any day soon!!!

Meanwhile, chill and have another glass of something that takes your fancy and helps to cure the 404 Blues.

LOL
Like 1 and 1 not sending the page to your PC because no bandwidth left.

And yes, I have had experience with 1 and 1 and their dreaded custom 404 error page. :roll: ha ha

I also lost the webcam connection. Fortunately I remembered it was sited at Metabixo, and a Google search led me to this Carvoeiro forum.
Ironically I lost the Ice Cream Shop webcam a couple of weeks ago, but since Metabixo failed the Palacio do Cone cam has re-appeared!
Hope the Metabixo cam returns as it is in a better position.
Incidentally, does anyone know when the webcams proposed for the other sides of the square are to be going online (and the others at Portimao, Alvor, etc.). Another good webcam I view is in the Areas Sao Joao area of Albufeira at the Restaurant Hollandaise on the main dual carriageway close to the 'Strip'. This camera is almost a streaming video which jumps along in 2 or 3 second bursts. We've dined here so it's particularly interesting for us. It was packed with orange clad customers for the recent Euro 2008 football matches when Holland were playing.

Which site is it on? I used to access Metabixo cam via the 'Webcams Galore' site, but they still have only the Palacio da Cone camera available.
