FP98: Cannot Load Page after Installing if Connected to Internet

• Microsoft FrontPage 98 for Windows

SYMPTOMS

If you install FrontPage while you are connected to the Internet, you may not be able to open pages or Webs in FrontPage after disconnecting your computer from the Internet.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because FrontPage may not write the localhost alias to the Hosts file if you install FrontPage while the computer is connected to the Internet. When you close your connection to the Internet, FrontPage cannot resolve the computer name to the local loopback address, 127.0.0.1.

RESOLUTION

Terminate your connection to the Internet before you install FrontPage.
