FP: Cannot Save Page After Closing Dial-Up Connection

ID: Q196035

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FrontPage 97 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

When you attempt to open or save a page in FrontPage Editor or rename or move a page in FrontPage Explorer, you may receive the following error message:

   Unable to connect to a server at 'default' on port 80 [socket code
   10065]

When you connect to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or a Network using a Dial-Up connection and open a web locally in FrontPage Explorer using FrontPage Personal Web Server, all work in that web must be done while the Dial-Up connection is open.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because FrontPage caches the localhost name, rather than using the Domain Name Service (DNS) name.

RESOLUTION

To resume work on the open web, restart FrontPage Explorer. If you disconnect while FrontPage Editor is open as well, you cannot save pages back to the web, but you can save them to a file. When you have restarted FrontPage Explorer, save the pages to a file location on your hard disk drive and import them into the web.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the in the products listed at the beginning of this article.
