I am new to FP 2000. Have completed my website &
attempting to publish. Each time I try I am repeatedly
prompted for my user name and password. I can't get past
this point.

I have tried the suggestion in the MS Knowledge Base.
That is to go into Internet Explorer - tools - options -
security etc. and change to "Default Level." Doesn't
work.

The obvious question is:
1. how do I get past the user name & password prompt.

The other is:

2. what does this user name and password relate to? My
internet connection? Front Page? etc.

Any insight is greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Your login info is whatever you provided to your host when you set up your
account or in some cases the info provided back to you by the host.

Have you talked to the ISP where your site is hosted? That's the first place
to try.

Publish a web using HTTP

Publish the files in the current web when you are ready to present your web
for public viewing, or when you want to update the files in your web. You
can publish using HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) if the the FrontPage
Server Extensions are installed on the Web server to which you are
publishing.

Before you publish your web, you can specify which pages you want to
publish. Then, when you publish your web, you have the following options:

Publish only the files that have changed. FrontPage compares the files on
your local web to the files on the Web server, and only those files that are
newer than those on the Web server are published. However, files that have
been marked Don't Publish will not be published.

Publish all files, except those that have been marked Don't Publish. The
files from the local web will overwrite all files on the destination Web
server, even if the files on the Web server are newer.
Publish subwebs, if the current web has subwebs. All files and folders in
subwebs will be recursively published in addition to those in the current
web.
Publish the web using a secure (SSL) connection. For example, use this
feature if your Web server uses the HTTPS protocol to authenticate its
users.

On the File menu, click Publish Web.

Click Options to expand the list of options.

Specify whether you want to publish only pages that have changed, or all
pages.
To publish subwebs, select the Include subwebs check box.

To publish using a secure connection, select the Secure connection required
(SSL) check box. Your destination Web server must support SSL for this
feature to work.

In the Specify the location to publish your web to box, type the location of
a Web server, click the arrow to select a location to which you have
published before, or click Browse to find the publishing location.
Click Publish.

FrontPage publishes your web. If you want to verify that your web was
successfully published, click the hyperlink that is displayed after the web
has been published - your Web browser will open to the site you just
published.

If you cancel publishing in the middle of the operation, files that have
already been published remain on the destination Web server.
 
This is the user or "account" name
and password provided by your hosting
service when you established the account.

It has nothing to do with FrontPage
or your internet connection.

It sounds like you don't have a WEB SERVER yet. You might want to look into
what it takes to get your website HOSTED.
Do you know who is hosting your site if you have a web host?
Your Username and Password should have been provided to you from your
WebHost. They are what you use to publish and log into the User Panel for
your web server space.

Webmaster
 
Or the hosted site is not running the FP Server Extensions
