help opening a live site

[Matt]

ok I've recently made the jump from FP2000 to FP2003 and in the old version
I could open a site live by either typing in the full URL in the open site
window or by hitting the FP edit button on IE. In FP2003 when I hit the FP
edit button it merely opens up the page I'm viewing and not the site and
when I type in the full url in the open site window I get the following
error message:

The folder http://www.mysite.com isn't accessible. The folder may be located
in an unavailable location, protected with a password, or the file name
contains a \ or /.

Where am I going wrong?

I found a solution but it wasn't really what I wanted... I imported the site
to my local system. Of course since I'm using a friend's system I'll have to
delete the local site when I'm done. Can you not open a live site anymore?

Run the function that clears the Cache(.web) files and then try.
