getting message: website inaccessible for direct server logon

[Milo]

Until recently, in FP2002, I could log on directly to the
webhost by doing File/OpenWeb and typing
http://www.mypersonalwebsite.com. In fact, it's still in
my "recent web" files and if I choose it from there, I get
the password box and can log directly onto my site.

As I was recently asked to take over another group's site,
I went to bring it down by doing File/OpenWeb and typing
http://www.thegroupswebsite.org . when I did, I got this
error:

"The folder 'http://www.thegroupswebsite.org/' isn't
accessible. The folder may be located in an unavailable
location, protected with a password, or the filename
contains a '/' or a '\'."

I thought this was very odd so I tried to access my own
site directly on the host server and got the same error
message, but with my site name in the message. The
extra "/" at the end is not in what I'm typing.

Then I tried again to access the site from my "Recent
Webs" folder. I saw "www.mypersonalwebsite.com" in the
list, selected it, and got the password box again for a
simple logon.

I just tried reinstalling FP2002, but no improvement. Any
ideas? I'm very stuck!

The folder "http://Website" isn't accessible. The folder may be located on
an unavailable volume or protected with a password.

yes, but Tom, this wouldn't explain why, when I
select "www.mypersonalwebsite.com" from my "Recent Webs"
list,I get the password box again for a simple logon.

if the folder weren't accessible, I couldn't get to it
just because I used the "recent webs" list, could I?
Plus, it doesn't explain my co-hort who CAN access the
website directly on a different computer.

thanks.

Your cohort's computer has nothing to do with your computer.

Please review the information I gave you.

This is normally corruption in the web folders.
