Publishing slow from FP2003

[Guest]

Like some others I've installed FP 2003 only to find that publishing to my FP
Sever Extensions 2002 enabled site is unbearably slow. Rates hover around 10
KB/s according to the little meter on the Remote Web Site view.

The exact same server accepted publication from FP2002 this morning without
problems, so it seems that this pretty much has to be a FP2003 issue of some
kind.

Suggestions?

1. FrontPage uses the internet settings from Internet Explorer.

2. Did you open your local web in FP 2003 and recalculate hyperlinks and then publish
changed pages only??

Doesn't matter...the *rate* is the problem, not the size of the upload. If I
was publishing a whole new 10mb website, I'd still want it to publish over my
gigabit LAN connection at faster than 10kb/s.

To answer your question though, I started trying to only publish the changed
pages, and then switched to pushing the entire site to see if that made any
difference. It doesn't.

At your suggestion I recalculated the hyperlinks with no effect. I'm
curious though as to what effect you expected?

I was checking to see if 2003 was slow because it was trying to
synchronize the webs.

Was this an upgrade to 2003 from an earlier version??

Yeah, from FP2002.

I tried both the "Synchronize" and "Local to Remote", both with the same
problem. Even if it IS synchronizing, the files should upload at network
speeds, not modem speeds. I realize it could take a long time to parse a
large web, but even pushing a new web to an empty FP enabled site crawls
intolerablly.

OK, a few things to try.

Go here: http://www.95isalive.com/fixes/fpclean.htm
and download FP cleaner.
Run the functions to clear the FrontPage Temporary files
and the Cache(.web) files.
Close FP Cleaner and tell No, do not start FrontPage

Then ( with IE closed ) right click the IE icon on the desktop and clear the
history, temporary internet and cookie files.
Then click the Programs tab and click "Reset Web settings."
Uncheck "Reset my homepage" in the next popup and then click OK all the way out.

Click Start > Run and type: cmd
and then click OK

In the command window that opens type: ipconfig /flushdns
and then press enter.
( Note there is a space between ipconfig and /flushdns )
When it's done close the command window and reopen FrontPage
and see if it has improved.
