Since you specifically mentioned portscans (which is a potential threat from the outside) that is why I mentioned the router protecting you from that source. As far as I know routers have their own internal IP address and do serve as a hardware firewall. I can't think of any that don't.

I would not recommend turning off your *firewall* for even a few seconds. The risk is just too great. The exposure is not to email, but to the ubiquitous port scanners <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_scanner>. *You *cannot detect when your computer has been portscanned, that is what the firewall does.

Kathy, When Pat G. told me about Frontpage Cleaner, I had my doubts and worries. "Would it help? Will it mess something else up?" But I had no choice-- Fp would not work right. I'm glad I did it--- and now use the Cleaner regularly! Here are some other "tricks" to make Fp "behave" and act "friendly" with Rootsweb (after all, we don't exactly want RW & Fp to "marry"--we're just sending them on a "date" with each other! LOL). After each step, try to upload---but don't do any more deleting ;-) 1. After you run Fp Cleaner, re-open Fp program and the Web folder... open the web. 2. Re-calibrate links. 3. Upload. 4.

(Filezilla however uploads the same "problem" file-- go figure.) 5. Open EACH FOLDER in your web. OPEN those "hidden" _vti folders too. LOOK for any file TYPES that RW might not like.... example - *.zip files. A copy will be in the _vti folder if it was an image type file. 6. Upload 7. Just to rule out the problem, try turning OFF any Firewall you have. Recently, Norton changed its settings when it updated and even though Fp is in its "accept" list, I couldn't upload a large site with my firewall on. Turn it off 5-10 minutes & try upload. 8. Another "trick" I use is to go to File Manager and manually upload 3 or 4 "difficult" files or images. Then, I re-try with Fp. If Fp was just "confused" before, sometimes using File Manager makes Fp scared enough (lol) to work right. If these all fail, write again and I will see if I can remember anything else I've tried.

Pat, I had forgotten that I did download FP Cleaner and just ran it and am running a scan and clean right now. If that doesn't work I'll download FileZilla - thanks for the time. As I'm thinking about this though, I started having problems when I downloaded FP Cleaner, even though I never used it. Thanks, will let you know if I need help (probably will!) with FileZilla.

Peggy, I am using that directory. I even tried deleting all the files on the server and uploading an all new site but only part of it will get there. I get the following: 550_overlay/will_of_solomon_jones.htm_nav_copy 2-of-network-blitz-/-(1).gif even though I eliminated this file from the publish list. Seems to have something to do with the "theme" graphics. I tried changing all the pages to exactly the same theme (copy 3 of network-blitz/gif) but the file names won't change on the upload. I'm so confused!

Kathy, I have a friend that is the website biz and uses Front Page I will check with him in the morning and see if he has any thoughts. I had trouble recently entering Rootsweb period and it was all caused by spy-ware, try cleaning things up just to cover all your bases. I would have never thought that would be the problem but it was. In the meantime I will check with him and see if I can find out anything.

As I suggested before, download TopStyle Lite and install it then follow these instructions - Using TopStyle with Microsoft FrontPage If FrontPage is installed, TopStyle will detect it during installation and configure itself as FrontPage's CSS editor. You can also do this manually in FrontPage by selecting Tools > Options > Configure Editors and adding TopStyle as the editor for CSS files. Once TopStyle is configured as FrontPage's CSS editor, double-clicking on a style sheet in any of FrontPage's views will open it in TopStyle for editing.

I have not gone very far with css I still find hand coding quickest and easiest Rootsweb refused me http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~lapham so I used a blog instead http://lapham36.blogspot.com/ please view source of that the embedded style sheet is at the beginning of the template after <style type="text/css"> down to </style> and I extracted a version to use with http://wc.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?db=lapham ahain please view source to see <center><h2><LINK REL=STYLESHEET TYPE="text/css" HREF="http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hugh/one-name/lapham/dotty.css" >LAPHAM one-name study </h2></center> BTW when Randy Winch was updating WorldConnect I was a beta tester and akse him to give us more charcters to this field http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hugh/one-name/lapham/dotty.css http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hugh/one-name/lapham/ is a test page with a simple structure and I advise you to make a similar test page my free pages are a bit of a mess but my blogs, world connect and digital photos on http://www.flickr.com/photos/hughw36/ are more effective communication see also hollyfun css test<http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/%7Ehugh/hollyfun.html> http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~hugh/hollyfun.html and follow the links to get the sum total of my knowledge one day I may design my own templates but as I said to Stephanie Sullivan at the Birmingham demonstration of the new Adobe CS3 suite "I am more of a content person" CS3 seminar by Adobe Community Experts : Greg Rewis and Stephanie Sullivan http://www.flickr.com/photos/hughw36/sets/72157602176100913/ and http://www.flickr.com/photos/hughw36/sets/72157602074858416/ enjoy Hugh W On 23/11/2007, Judy Florian <[email protected]> wrote: > > MY REQUEST FOR ADVICE: > I have existing pages with HTML and IN-Line CSS.
