Can't open remote web or publish to server in FP2002 or 2003

I get the ubiquitous Port 80 error: "Could not find a web server at .... on
port 80. Check proxy settings..." etc. Extensions have been tested & work
fine. It's not the server. I've tried connecting to my remote server using
both FP 2002 & 2003 in Win XP Home. FP works fine as an editor of my disk
copy of the web, but not when I try to publish to web server. (Problem is
NOT server extensions; other pc's can connect publish no problem.) One day
it works, then 2-3 weeks can go by & it won't work. I have repaired the
network connection, tried all: reboot, rest, clean ".web & cmdui.prf" files,
repair FP, uninstall & reinstall FP. Nothing seems to cure the problem. I
have a Win98se PC which will connect to the server, but I'm leery to use it
because when I open the file list, ½ of the names are upper & mixed upper &
lower case letters. They all appear as small case lettered filenames in
explorer, file manager & other ways to see actual files. Since case matters
to existing hyperlinks, I'm reluctant to publish changed pages for fear of
broken links resulting. I went back to FP2000, after removing traces of
others, & it works! But, I have already created pages, forms & elements in
FP2003 & if I publish those changes using FP2000, will they still function?
Help!

you should be OK using the different version but for the sake of safety and
sanity I'd make a back up copy and .zip it (just so you can't mess it up no
matter what) and take it from there.
