Page Caching?

Have you tried power cycling the modem? Doing so should clear its cache. Unplug it at the outlet or power brick (NOT at the back of the modem), wait at least 30 seconds, then plug it back in. It will take four or five minutes for the modem to be fully back up.
If you're using a 3rd party router you should power cycle it, as well. This will clear its cache.
HughesNet does use Web Acceleration. You can toggle it off and on here... http://192.168.0.1/limited.html#!/wac/control
If it is still giving you problems after trying the above things please let us know, as the reps may need to clear the modem's cache remotely, though power cycling it should do so.
Yes, Worked like a charm. I had done that, but didn't leave it unplugged long enough!
Thanks again!!
Awesome! I'm glad it worked.
Happy to help. :)
Hughesnet does use a web-caching system, it's one of the many components of Web Acceleration. They use a SQUID proxy specifically for HTTP content, as do many other service providers. You might want to look into methods of having your webserver send a "No Cache" request when it's accessed, this will limit the potential for proxy servers to cache content, but could also prevent end users from accessing such content.
