HI!
I have a coworker that teaches FrontPage 2000. Each student in her FrontPage class has a personal folder on a Windows 2000 Server to store anything they are working on. We don't allow them to save anything to the local drive. Here is the problem. When the students try to create a web and save it to their personal work space, they receive an error stating that the server has timed out. It finishes the process, but does not create the Web. IIS 5.0 is installed on the Windows 2000 server with the server extensions. The students can create their webs to a floppy, but that takes half the class time just to do. A work-around was to allow them to save to a folder on the local drive. That works fine, but again, I don't want the students saving to the local drive. I did a full install from Office 2000 Premium CDs to the local machines. This is becomming very frustrating. Any ideas???? Thanks in Advance

Silly question: Are you sure the Front Page 2000 Server Extensions are installed and installed correctly? I had this problem at home and had to reinstall the server extensions on the W2K Server to get it working right.

I have installed the Frontpage server extension. I have gone as far as to fully install disk 1 of the Office Premium Suite on the server. Thank you for your help.

Have you checked to see if you have given each user rights to write and change the www.//root if the do not have rights to where the internet dir's are at they can not write to it or change it. You will want to setup read for all change for the userthat builds pages for each folder. You can try to save a page logged on as administrator if this works the you need to make the above changes.

Thanks for any answer(s) you have posted. I haven't deleted my user account. I don't know what happened to it. I emailed techrepublic and I got a response saying there was nothing they could do about it. This thing is screwed up bad. Anyway, thanks for helping!!!!! P.S. I still do not have a working solution. I will close this question here!!! Any help would be great. My email is jmstitt@csonline.net. This question and answer thing is good, but it doesn't work right all the time.
