I hope someone can help me. I have tried working with the Rootsweb Helpdesk and they have no idea what is wrong. I have been using Frontpage 2000 since 1999 to manage the website on Rootsweb. Admitedly it is a big website - abt 31megs. All of a sudden, in February of this year I began having trouble with the upload process. I am able to process the updates - they do appear on the web, just fine. The problem is that Frontpage advises me that "the server has unexpectedly stopped the connection" just as the web updates are processing. What happens is that although the material shows up online, it does not clear from the Frontpage memory, so when I need to uplaod again, I am uploading all those updates again, plus any new ones. I've done this three times, thinking things would sort themselves out, however the number of updates in the memory is getting way too huge. In an effort to resolve this I have done the following: Disabled my Firewall Adjusted the cookies so that I authorize each and every one Ran Defrag Ran Disk cleanup Tried to upload with another ISP - does the same thing In Frontpage - chose Apache Server and disabled active server pages, ensured enabled with MS Frontpage server extentions is unchecked Tried to reset my computer to a date prior to February and can't because I haven't changed anything since the beginning of January and my last successful update Made a copy of My Web and tried to upload that - same problem, even without all the updates to upload. It stops at the processing web updates Disabled my virus software while I tried to upload the changes Anyone out there have any ideas? Sylvia

First, my experience with FP2000 and "the server has closed the connection" usually has to do with 2 things-- 1) my wireless connection momentarily quit 2) there is some file type in my PC web that RW does not like. For example, *.zip, file names with spaces or weird characters. Make sure you check inside those VTI (??) folders for images files, and even in folders that begin with underscore, such as _includes. If you've looked over file types and names, you might try marking a few pages as "do not publish" (it's under properties). I marked my largest maps after the first time they were uploaded, and they remain marked a year later. FP acts normally and publishes the new pages. It leaves the excluded pages published since they already do exist on the web. I'd work slowly-- mark 2 or 3 pages, upload; mark more & upload. You may notice FP gets less confused each time, and is less problematic. If you can think of other clues, or if this suggestion does't help, do write again.

Have you doublechecked your files to make sure there are not any files that are not allowed? Have you recalculated hyperlinks BEFORE you try and publish? You can try Tools | Recalculate Hyperlinks. Someone with fp2000 can point you to where it is if not there. pat ---------- Pat Geary, Microsoft MVP - FrontPage We discuss FrontPage and Expression Web http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gearyfamily/frontpage/ http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~gearyfamily/expression-web/ Genealogy Web Design Tips and Tutorials http://www.genealogy-web-creations.com/ http://www.blog.family-genealogy-online.com/

Did you add a router? In any case, you might want to try to upload in "passive mode". Jacques On 4/24/2007 6:39 PM, Sylvia Hasenkopf wrote: > I hope someone can help me.
