Tried allowing following of symlinks but that didn't help.
Tried sitexx but that didn't work.

I implemented both strategies but am still having trouble. Here's a summary.

Rated for viewing via a web browser:

http://www.myserver.com/domain/www.newsite.com/  # Works
http://www.myserver.com/domain/sitexx/           # Works
http://www.myserver.com/Preview/www.newsite.com/ # Views actual site!
http://www.myserver.com/Preview/sitexx/          # Fails

When I attempt to publish to any of these, I receive the following in
FrontPage 2000.

Server error: The web server you are using does not support creating,
renaming or deleting subwebs from the FrontPage client. You must ask your
ISP or web server administrator to create, rename or delete your subweb.

The FP extensions are installed on the new site and on the server.

Thoughts?

BTW, how do I tell if the server is running fp98 or fp2k extensions?

Any help on this would be most appreciated. I've had the server almost two
months now and this is the only thing holding me up.
