strange indexing problem

Hi,

I'm having the strangest problem and I can't figure any solution for it.

I've designed a website and I hosted it recently. When I visited it live everything was working fine. Yesterday I took everything down to put up a cgi file for forms. I put up a few pages to test my forms and everything was okay. Today I put all the rest of my files and pages up and then when I typed in my www address all I got was the blank index-page-missing 'Index of /' page. I thought the servers had to refresh but after an hour it was still doing it and what's more strange is that it isn't even showing my current domain files, it's still showing my index as it was when I did my cgi tests.

I cleared my cache and cookies and everything but it couldn't really be that because I'm typing the url in live and in any case my other browser, Mozilla does it as well. For some reason my computer has gotten stuck on showing me my index as it was two days ago when I type in my site's www url. On other people's computers my site opens fine to my home page when they type in www.netbutleronline.com but on my own computer I just get 'Index of /'. Some weird little ghost has gotten in somewhere and I can't figure it: my computer simply won't open my site own site live. For fun I ran Spybot and AVG, I tried deleting my local files for my site, nothing. If I type in someone else's www.domain.com it opens fine to their home page but my own site, not happening. It can't be some weird thing that's gotten into IE because Mozilla does it as well. It's something crazy on my computer.

I would deeply appreciate any thoughts.

Thanks for your time,

waterprism

My System

So you have a index.html file in the root folder now right? I just went and it's blank and showing me your index (files - none now since you probably took them away).
