The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft FrontPage for Windows 1.1 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For a Microsoft FrontPage 98 version of this article, see Q194673.

SYMPTOMS
========

When you attempt to create a new disk-based Web, you receive one of the
following error messages:

FrontPage 97 for Windows
------------------------

  Timed out while trying to connect to a server at 'C' on port 80.

FrontPage for Windows 1.1
-------------------------

  Unable to connect to a server at 'C' on port 0 (socket code 10049).

CAUSE
=====

This problem occurs if you type a path using the forward slash, such as
"c:/webs" (without the quotation marks) in the "Choose a title for your
FrontPage Web" dialog box. When the server attempts to resolve the address, it
attempts to resolve the folder on the c:\ drive using an IP address.

RESOLUTION
==========

To resolve this problem, in the "Choose a title for your FrontPage Web" dialog
box, use a backslash and type the path as follows:

  "c:\webs" (without the quotation marks)

STATUS
======

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products that are
listed at the beginning of this article.
