Do you control the webserver? If so you need to tell the server (ie, Apache, IIS) to use index.html as the "Directory Index". If not ask your ISP to enable it.

Webservers can be configured to server different things as the "default" webpage if browsing to a folder - normally, your local, friendly, server administrator should be able to tell you what name(s) to use - index.html is common, but you could try "default.htm" if it's hosted on a Windows server.
