going crazy with server extensions - 5/6/2002 15:31:37   
Please help!! I cannot for the life of me figure out what I am doing wrong. I have a server at home...connected with a dsl for my website. I use FP with extensions. When I am at work and open frontpage I cannot open my website. I want to publish from work to home.

Publish to web is grayed out. When I open reports it says no files to publish.

what am I doing wrong? I am using frontpage 2000 with the extensions that came with the cd. Can some step through the process including what settings my web server needs to complete the process? I have been in several forums but cannot find detailed info.

Thanks in advance

What is the server? Apache? IIS4? IIS5? Router? Domain name? DNS server?

To open type http://domainname.com and then you can publish back to your work machine.

ok guys maybe I am lost but I cannot publish from work to home. I don't know if I have iis 5.0 setup correctly with the server extensions. My site is up and running but I want to edit it while at work. Is this possible?

How are you typing in the address to publish? http://www.domain.com/ ?

Hi,

I have to ask, no offense intended, can you view your website from work or anywhere else?

I have W2K Pro, IIs 5 and DNS running at home but I do not have it setup to be viewed by the outside world. My internal IP address is a using private IPs.

Just thinking out loud here,

Brian

Really? I would think it required http://domainname.net/

So, from work - you open FP, open web and enter http://domainname.net/ and it will not open?

Post the URL and maybe we can see something...

nope..won't open... the I go to open web...and it wants me to look at c:\ locally but I type in my url and it says the folder isn't accessible. Now a co-worker says that I need to add my url site in add network place. Unfortunately this doesn't work either. It has to be something set on the server. Thats why I wanted to know what server settings needed to be done to use this funtion in frontpage.

still goin nuts here

Agree with Gil, much more info needed here. I will assume its IIS 5 on w2kpro? What is the error message? 404?

You can open the site from a web browser, when you are on the site have you tried File-->Edit with Frontpage from the browser?

The server doesn't report that the FP extensions are running...but that may not be accurate...checked it at www.netcraft.com
