off topic: website help

OK I wonder if anyone can shed some light on something for me. My wife has a website she has been working on that has, up until today, been hosted on mobile me. She created it with iWeb. Today we tried ftp ing it to a 1 and 1 server. Now we have problems....

if you type in the url: ie mydomain.com it appears in firefox, ie7, safari (redirected to www.mydomain.com)
if you type in the url: www.mydomain.com directly with ie7 and safari it comescup with error404 but with firefox it goes to the correct location!

any ideas as it's doing our nuts in!

Why would it work instantaneously with firefox but not with ie7 or safari then? Is there something different about firefox? does it see www.mydomain.com as identical to mydomain.com and the other two don't?
