I have setup a Windows 2000 Server with IIS 5.0 running FrontPage Server Extensions to host sites for some of our students. I wanted to be able to give them their own FTP and web sites for practice. I set up the NIC in the OS with multiple IP addresses. Then I setup a couple of sites to test with. I am using the Default Web and FTP sites (which work fine), but the test sites are having problems. I can FTP into the test sites with no problem, but, when I try to either view web pages or publish to the sites using FrontPage 2000, it says the site doesn't exist. I have comed over the permissions of the sites and the folders on the server. I HAVE permissions. Any Ideas?

Make sure that you have assigned a unique IP address to every web site. Go to the properties of the HTTP and FTP sites and change from "All unassigned" to the specific IP address. Do this for every site, also the default sites.

I had already done that. I even set up a DNS server with the correct IP addresses and host names to make sure the network knew where the sites were. Not that it really mattered because I was initially trying to get to the site using the IP address, which bypasses the DNS server anyway. Thanks, though.
