Cannot open website after upgrading to FP2003

[jtskr76]

Hello,
Tonight I upgraded to FP2003 from FP2002, and now I cannot open a site I
created and have on a remote server. I have never had this problem with 2002
and have been working live with this site for months with no problems. When
I try to open it in FP2003 now I get the hourglass for about 2 or 3 minutes
and then an error message saying something about not being able to connect
because the server does not have sharepoint services. I never had them or
needed them before. FP2003 will not connect to the server at all, please
help. I have a backup of the site (an old backup), but I still can't connect
to the server now with 2003 so that doesn't do me any good. Any ideas?
Thanks.

The sharepoint services dialog is generic for not having the FP SE
How are you opening your site
File Open Site and entering the URL as http://www.yoursitename.com/
- or selecting it from Network places
Try browsing to you site home page in IE and using File Edit w/ FP

I've tried opening all those ways. The frontpage server extensions are
installed, I've been working on the site live for months up until yesterday
with FP2002, but after installing FP2003 I get that error message. It won't
open any of those ways, it just won't connect to the server.

Update: I tried opening it by typing the name in manually and it worked this
time, whewww. Thanks for your help.
