Publishing web site: Error message concerning proxy settings

[patK]

I have been trying to publish my website (created in Frontpage 2002) to
godaddy. The front page extensions are installed on the server.

After typing in my name and password, I get a message indicating that
various things could be wrong, including that my ISP does not accommodate
front page extensions, or that my proxy settings are wrong. After numerous
calls to Godaddy and one call to my ISP (Comcast), I still have no idea
what's wrong. I experimented on my own with proxy settings under Explorer,
but messed up my Internet access.

HELP ME! IS THERE ANYONE THERE WHO CAN HELP ME! please......

It sounds like GoDaddy may have a problem with their FPSE on their server.
Since you haven't copied and posted the error messages verbatim I am
guessing here. But I have learned that getting the FPSE setup and working
on a server is a non-trivial task and trickier than I would have thought. I
suggest you find a host that is recommended by a FP Mvp.

Or you can re-design your website with the FPSE toggle turned off and upload
using FTP to a non-fpse website/webhost.
