[cobalt-users] FrontPage again...



Hi Yah,

Customer has half a dozen sites all using FP, up to now he's had no problems publish individual or full site pages to the server. About a month ago their office had ADSL added and ever since then he can't publish consistently with FrontPage, sometimes he gets a server time out error then the next time it won't connect.

Has anyone come across this before?

I've spoken with their IT guys who assure me there are no restrictions there side either by firewall or port restrictions.

He uses the FP Publish so it's all done through httpd and not FTP. Now the funny thing is he can upload files via FTP using their old dial-up account and the new ADSL connection. They have been allocated dynamic IP's rather than static ones.

Question...

Is there anyway to watch top to see if the user has connected to the server i.e. spot their IP address/IP range when using FP?

Is there anyway to get syslog register their connection/publish - currently all my logs show is FTP connections and not FrontPage connections?

Is the ISP telling porkies and there should be a specific port open etc for FP Publishing?

They do have port 80 open.

Many thanks in advance

I've searched high and low through the archives and google but nothing comes near to this, lots of FTP timeouts and connection fails and plenty of stuff about FP 80 files etc.
