Unable to open Website. server error:

[Fabio Soto]

I have 5 websites and 3 are with Cox.net. Just recently the Cox.net
websites are giving me the subject error. I recently updated WinXP to
SP2, but the other two websites that are not with Cox.net work just
fine. I called Cox.net and well you know... the only thing they know
is how to use their webtool to upload one file at a time.

Also since this problem started I can't browse using my network places
to get the website folders like I could before making me think that it
is not an FP problem but a windows problem. But then again it works
fine for the two website that also work with FP.

Any ideas?

If you have FrontPage 2003, display the Remote Web Site
Properties dialog box and check Use Passive FTP.

If that doesn't do it, you may need to relax your
settings under Control Panel, Security Center, Windows
Firewall. For example, you may need to list FrontPage as
a program exception, and port 20 as a port exception.
