css to be or not to be?

Can anyone tell me why an external css file which works fine in ie & ns on
my computer will only work as designed on ie when uploaded to the web.
Netscape ignores it completely. I am using ns7.01 and ie6 and dw2004mx?

Check the URL for the presence of spaces and/or backslashes. IE is likely
to be more forgiving of such malformations.

A URI would be more helpful. My guess would be that the server claims the
file contains something other then text/css. IE second guesses the author
and treats it as CSS anyway, Netscape rejects it on the principle that it
as it doesn't know what the style sheet is, it shouldn't risk playing with
it. (Which is a good thing - if anyone comes up with a non-css style sheet
language that is in some ways css-like, it could play havock with MSIE)
