Why am I seeing my file index instead of my "under construction" page?
One of my clients just put up an "Under Construction" page for their web site (hosted by Yahoo). Everyone outside their network can see it just fine. However, nobody can see that page from within my client's network. They see the "file index", which shows the file structure for their web site. This happens on every computer on their network. Doesn't matter if they're using Firefox or IE 6. Done everything I know of to clear this up including clearing out cookies, history & temp files from their PC's and flushing the ARP cache on their SonicWall Firewall.
you need to put up a default.html or a home.html - of a file of name specified as default by the web server.

When users type in the address for your site (eg. www.mycompany.co.uk ), the Web server will attempt to display a file called index.html. Therefore you must name your start page (or "home" page) index.html.
also check for directory listing enabled on the server
