fighters.net and ntcompatible.com same IP?

Why do and have the same IP? I have some friends who cannot access NT Compatible because of this. . . they get an error. If they enter the IP as the site, it pulls up the fighters one, and not NT compatible.

Because they are on the same server....
 
I don't know what kind of servers the Gamefan network runs, but in IIS, this is very easy to do using headers. If you don't send a header, like when you enter the ip directly, then it will go to the default web page. In this case the default would appear to be fighters.net
 
Why are your friends trying to get to it by the ip?

because when they enter www.ntcompatible.com -- it brings up nothing... says it cant be found, so he tried it with the IP... and no luck.

I'd almost bet they're using some sort of "Speed up the Internet" program that uses IP addresses only.

No, they are using a default MindSpring dial-up account, nothing else... I checked it out myself.

Many virtual webspace accounts have no own IP address.
