adding web folders

's Computer Specifications

I need to add a web folder to "My Network Places" in order to edit the site
with FrontPage. The problem is that the site does not have a "www" hostname.
So, instead of http://www.domain.com it's http://other.domain.com Whenever I
attempt to add the site as a new folder, it creates the link as a local
folder, not a web one.

's Computer Specifications

Open FrontPage, browse to and open the folder and it "should" be added to Network Places.

Open the site in IE, then File Menu | Edit with FP and the folder will (should) be created in My
Network Places.

The folder doesn't exist to browse to and when I attempt to create it, the
folder gets created as a local link to \\other.domain.com instead of a web
link to http://other.domain.com

It doesn't try to create the folder until "Save" is clicked. Then I'm put
into the "My Network Places" folder and given the chioce of what folder to
save it in. Since the website has no folder/link to it yet, I need to create
it. When I try to, it gets saved as a local link.

I have created new web folder links to actual sites with no problems, as
long as they follow the www.domain.com format. Following the exact same steps
for a site not starting in "www" always results in a local link. I have never
had this problem with previous versions of FrontPage.

Done that, still comes up as a local folder when it's created.

In general FP doesn't really work well with subdomains. The normal/best method it to always access
it as a subweb/subsite under the root web when you need to access it from FP.

So for browsers it would be
http://other.domain.com
for FP it would be
http://www.domain.com/other

This isn't a subdomain, it's an independent site, the only difference is that
the hostname is something other than "www". This hasn't been a problem with
any previous version of FrontPage.

http://other.domain.com is a subdomain.

Here is a brief explanation of subdomains:

Create it a FP subweb, then use DNS to point to the subweb as a subdomainny access it from FP as
http://www.domain.com/subweb and you will eliminate your current issues.
