SBnet support for
FrontPage Extensions FAQ

Q: What is FrontPage?
A: FrontPage is a Microsoft product that helps you create and maintain your Web site. It allows you to design and create your Web site on your local computer and then publish the entire site to your SBnet Web site. Other FrontPage Components allow you to add text searches, personal conferences, and much more.

Q: Which versions of FrontPage does SBnet support?
A: As of now, SBnet supports only Frontpage 98. Unfortunately we do not support versions of FrontPage prior to Frontpage 98. We will soon support FrontPage 2000.

Q: What are the directories named _vti_something.
A: These are the files and directories that FrontPage adds to your directory. Do not delete these directories. If you delete them, FrontPage authentication will not work and anyone with FrontPage may be able to modify your Web site.

Q: Can I still use the other HTML editors?
A: Certainly. All HTML files created by FrontPage can be edited with the other editors. You will not be able to easily edit the FrontPage Components through other editors — just the standard HTML.

Q: Which FrontPage features are implemented?
A: Almost all of them. For performance reasons we have disabled the ability to set browsing and viewing permissions through FrontPage. Only you are allowed to administer your Web site and anyone can browse it. (Remember also that two features — Scrolling Marquee and Hovering Text — will only work on an Internet Explorer browser, version 3 or higher.)

Q: How do I get access to my FrontPage enabled site through FrontPage?
A: Your FrontPage site can be accessed at http://www.yourdomain.com. For administrator and author permissions, the user name is your SBnet login name and the password is your SBnet password.

Q: Who should I go to for support? SBnet or Microsoft?
A: For problems with using FrontPage on your own computer, contact Microsoft. For problems publishing your page to SBnet, or if something doesn't work correctly on SBnet, see SBnet's Support Page.

Q: What about FrontPage Express and the Web Publishing Wizard (free products available with IE4)?
A: Pages created with FrontPage Express should work fine. If you use the Web Publishing Wizard, upload your pages via FTP, not FrontPage.
