404 media urls in Fire Bug - .htaccess

I am getting lots of 404 errors in Fire Bug's Net tab. I have attached the screen shot to know more. The error gets continuously incremented in Fire Bug. I have checked for this and getting solutions for this but not related to this type of problem.
Console Output: 16(Keeps on incrementing, thereby slowing down the website) "NetworkError: 404 Not Found - http://test.xxx.com/media/" /media/

The /media/ path is not found, so it was returning 404 error.
You need to check from where it is calling.

/CMSPages/PortalTemplate.aspx throws 404 errors but site still works fine

I have a situation here, on iis logs I see the /CMSPages/PortalTemplate.aspx causing 404 errors but the requests are still fulfilled.
The question that I have is how do I stop these 404 errors from being logged since the website still works. I only want to see the real 404 erros which occur when the request URL is invalid
I am using the Portal Engine approach
In the IIS log, find out what the parameters after the /CMSPages/PortalTemplate.aspx causing the 404. You may be able to see these 404 errors in the Kentico Event Log as well. The majority of the requests to deliver page content goes through the /CMSPages/PortalTemplate.aspx page which is why you're seeing it in the IIS logs.
Once you find the record which has the 404 info, you should be able to find the path to the file and resolve it.
Check your network tab in your favorite browser. Usually there is a favicon or woff font not being served.

Cakephp Uploaded on a subdirectory is giving issues

I just completed a cakephp project with cake 2.x locally , every thing works perfectly.
Now, I moved it online and uploaded to a sub directory, http://doubleedgetechnologies.com.ng/unlimitedgrace/
but below is the error I am getting, I know is .htaccess issue, I have struggled with it for over 3 hours all to no avail.
Please help me out.
Thanks
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, webmaster#doubleedgetechnologies.com.ng and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
Additionally, a 500 Internal Server Error error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
I have moved it to another server, and it works perfectly there.

404 Error Hijacked by Time Warner

I created a customized 404 page in IIS. If a user types in the name of one of our employees in the url: www.ourdomain.com/firstname the 404 page grabs the firstname and forwards you to the bio page for that person. If it doesn't find the string as a name it just serves up our custom 404 error page.
This is working beautifully with one exception. When you are using Time Warner as your ISP instead of loading the custom 404 page I get an error message that says, "The connection was reset...." it has a try again button at the bottom.
Any ideas on how I can get Time Warner to serve up my custom 404 error message?
I came up with this on the Mozilla Forum, it appears to be ISP's and their greed. Re-routing 404 traffic to pages of their choice likely to improve revenue. It appears the best method is to complain to their customer service however I'm unsure how it will help if its only been a few to complain (so far).
UPDATE
It appears someone has found a way to disable this.

Umbraco throwing 404

I have an umbraco 4 site that I have put a google sitemap onto. This all works fine locally but on the live server I am getting an IIS 404 error (not the umbraco 404 error) - see this link.
However if I preview the node it works fine
I have googled why I would get a 404 and so far I have come up with the following causes which I have checked and can rule out as the cause:
the template is not assigned
there are multiple nodes with the same url
Would anyone know what is causing this problem or how I could fix it?
Update
I have deleted the preview node now as I recreated the node in a different place and it worked. Would still like any thoughts on why I would get a 404 though, just in case a similar thing happens in future
Unfortunately both your links are going to the IIS error page as well as all the other errors on the site so we cant tell what you sitemap should be, see this link for tips on how to set up the 404 page http://www.simonantony.net/knowledge-base/articles/how-to-setup-a-404-error-page-on-your-umbraco-site/ .
Make sure that's working across the whole site then with you Google site map is it an XML sitemap or HTML sitemap and how have you implemented it did you use a package or made it you self.

Tracking where a custom 404 is handled - code, IIS, etc?

Is there any means to track where within code a 404 error is handled?
We have a site that we have taken over that doesn't seem to be reacting as expected.
We have changed the IIS custom errors page to point to the new page we would like but something seems to still be redirecting it to the old 404.htm file in the root of this site. We have not been able to track down where or why this happens.
Any suggestions on how we might find the referring logic?
