Help- Dad can't see my page.

I very new at this, but managed to get a page up, and several other people can see it with no problem.  I used Frontpage.  My dad is using Compuserve on a 486.  He’s really new to the net and doesn’t know what specific browser he’s using, I guess whatever compuserve’s default is (it’s not Netscape or Explorer).  Most sites he can see, but a few he can’t.

The error it’s giving him when he tries to go to my page is:
 "Host header required – Browser did not send HOST HTTP header field.  HTTP/1.0 404 object not found."

My question is, at which end is the problem at?  Is there anything I can do to my page so he can see it?  I have all the !DOCTYPE, HTML, HEAD, TITLE, etc. tags in there in the proper place.  I don’t know what else to do.

Any help you all could give me would be appreciated.

Thanks

    Goofus,

    It’s possible that his old browser might not support 32-bit. If this is the
    case then you have no major problem with others getting the same error
    messages.
