Publishing a website with FP 2002 - errors

[stewart room]

I would be very grateful for any help on the following:

I am attempting to publish a website to a virtual server
that has frontpage 2002 extensions installed. I am
running FP2002 on XP Pro. My connection to the net is an
old fashioned dial-up with my ISP being Freeserve.

I keep getting a variant of this message when I attempt
to publish:

"Unable to open http:
Server error:
Possible causes:
1.The web server may not have frontpage server extensions
installed.
2. The webserver may be temporarily out of service.
3. If you are connecting through a proxy server the proxy
settings may be incorrect.
4. An error may have occurred in the webserver."

My hosting package has FP extensions (I understand), the
webserver seems to be fine (it says no technical
problems). I dont know about the proxy server issues.

Any help would be grately appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Try opening your online web in FP
File Open Web and enter http://www.yourdomain.com/
Or browse to it in IE, and use File Edit w/ FrontPage
If you can't, then your host is probably the problem
