problem with publishing from new computer

[P D Sterling]

I am new to this group, and Have two questions about websites I have
constructed.

Background: I retired, selling all my computer equipment, having saved
everything on CDs, including everything about my two websites. I have
FP2000 on an OEM disk, XP on an OEM disk, and bought a quite nice new
computer.

Installed XP, Office, and FP; copied information about webs, and
prepared to maintain websites. When I opened FrontPage, I found I could
not publish my changes. In the error mode of listening to too many
people, I opened www.oak-lawn-library.com in Internet explorer, made an
update, and published it successfully. Now the index file you can see on
the internet does not match my computer, which is troubling.

Question 1: How can I return to opening FrontPage, maintaining, and
publishing from FrontPage?

Forging on, I could also not publish from www.pdsterling.com, so went
the Internet Explorer route, and could not edit in FP. Since I am the
owner of the domain, and since I know I have FP extensions installed,
confirmed by my webhost, I now return to Question 1. Why am I having
this trouble, and where did I go wrong?

Any advice will be gratefully appreciated

Open FrontPage, then File->Open Web (or File->Open Site if FP2003)
Type in the web site address.

On both sites, this results in getting the logon dialogue. Opening from
IE only opens the cached page in the temporary files, not the web site.
This happens on some sites.

Hello, Ron - that doesn't work - I get the logon screen, and no matter
what I type in, I get the logon screen. I am having difficulty getting
hold of my web host, and I don't really understand what he does or can
do. If necessary, I will torpedo the web-site and program a totally new
web. I can do that, if I can get access. Any help would be gratefully
appreciated.

The extensions need to be re-installed or repaired. You may be able to
reinstall using your web package control panel, otherwise it is up to
your host to run a Server health check or re-install.

Ah, I suspected as such. My web host is a small business, and I have
been unable to get hold of him for the assistance I have been begging of
you. As I said, if needs be, I can crash the entire page a reprogram, as
it is so very simple.

Wish me luck, and thanx for posting!
