Vijay

Thank You - I tried the command line you suggested below
on two workstations and it worked just fine. The errors I
am getting in my original post are happening on tow
seperate machines as well.

When you said I may have problems with my web folders, are
you taling about locally on my workstation or on the web
server?

Note: I am having this issue with several domains on the
same web server.

I tried some of the the options on the article bit #1 is
not to be don on Windows 2000 / FrontPage 2002 whic is
what i am running,

2. I can not CHDIR to the directory from the comand prompt
despite using quotes for directory names that include
spaces.

I went on and did what was applicable with the remining
steps, still no change resolution.

I was trying to look for a document on the server
extensions config to see if that might have a clue.

My host STILL INISTS it is not a server side issue but I
was opening live sites and publishing just fine before the
Server IP change AND I am experiencing these errors on two
workstations trying to open and publish to diffrent
domains on the same web server.

The only thing that I can think of is that both
workstations reciently ran the autoupdate from the MS
website. Perhaps a hotfix is a problem?

I uninstalled Office XP (2002) w/FrontPage and re-
installed it with still no change.

YIKES!!!

Hi Jody,

When you say the Server IP changed, do you mean the public IP? Try opening
the site using http://IPaddress

Try this,
1. delete all webfolder shortcuts in My network places.
2. run webfldrs.msi
3. Select "Reinstall mode"
4. uncheck the 2nd one and check all the rest.
5. click Ok and click "Reinstall".

If this doesn't solve the issue, run it again - uninstall and reinstall.

Regards,
Vijay

Hi Vijay

1. I deleted only a couple of domain references in Net
Places.
2. Ran webfldrs.msi - removed and re-installed "Complete"
3. Re-booted the workstation.
4. Tried to publish & open Live site, errors persist.
These errors are the same no matter if I use the FQDN or
IP.

I would assume the IP address is a Public IP since it is
also the same IP as my DNS1.
