MORE INFORMATION

FrontPage TCP/IP Test

The TCP/IP Test utility tests for a properly installed version of Windows sockets, the IP address, and the host name (if any) of your computer. The FrontPage TCP/IP test also verifies the local loopback address (127.0.0.1) and localhost, the standard loopback host name.

To run the TCP/IP test utility, follow these steps:
  1. Start FrontPage Explorer.
  2. On the Help menu, click About Microsoft FrontPage Explorer.
  3. In the About FrontPage Explorer dialog box, click Network Test.
  4. In the TCP/IP Test dialog box, click Start Test.

Server Administrator

Use the Server Administrator to check for properly installed server extensions, the server type, the server port, the server content area, and the server configuration file if the server has one. It is recommended that you uninstall and then reinstall the extensions if the content area or configuration file has changed.

The Server Administrator also allows you to enable or disable authoring on a selected port. The Server Administrator also allows you to add user names and passwords to a list of administrators on all servers except Microsoft Internet Information Server.

The icon you use to start the FrontPage Server Administrator is in different locations depending on the version of FrontPage and the version of Windows you are running.
