Good Morning,
This is wierd!  I developed, for the first time, a website using the Windows 7 Pro OS (32 bit) and MS Expression Web 2.0.
I can access the "placeholder" page using WinXP based machines, but NOT the Win7 machines. (get a 404).
My CoffeeCup FTP Client recognizes the LunarPages upload site using WinXP but NOT on the Win7 platform.. (Error: Cannot resolve website address).

In short, this is NOT a LunarPages problem; it has something to do with my Win7 based computers.
Just wondering if this is a known glitch and if anyone else has had the same experience.
Thanks in advace for any comments or advice.

I believe the entire issue is that your Windows 7 machines are cached. Did you try your site when the site wasn't working previously on the Windows 7 machines and not on the Windows XP ones? If so, then you are simply cached to the prior non-working location. Here is how to see if you are cached, go on the Windows 7 machines to a proxy:

If you an see your website on the proxy on Windows 7, then you are cached. You can try clearing your computer's DNS cache to see if that helps or reboot the system and router (if you have a router). To clear your cache in Windows 7:

Thanks.
