FP won't connect to server to allow editing

[savannahjohn]

When I click on the "Edit with Frontpage" option when I am visiting my
website (southeastbowling.com) I get what appears to be a local copy of the
site. I've always been asked to input a password in order to access the
server so I could edit the site. However, I only get a copy of the home page
which does not appear to be capable of being edited.

Is there a setting that has gone awry?

Thanks in advance for any support you may have to offer.

try opening it the real way;
open fp
file | open web/site
http://www.southeastbowling.com

however your website does not appear to have fpse installed so you may not
be able to open it "live".

Thanks Rob,

How can you tell whether FPSE are installed? I went to Hostway and reviewed
my setup and it showed Extensions installed. Nonetheless, I reinstalled them
to no avail. I also tried to open in the manner you suggested and received an
error message: Server Error: Error2 opening registry key
"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared tools\web server extensions\Ports\Port80".

Sorry to be a burden but my dad is lost and I'm even loster.

John

If the fpse were installed the following url:
http://www.southeastbowling.com/_vti_inf.html would return a page and it
does not.
