SYMPTOMS
After you install JuniorNet on your computer, you may receive the following error message when you try to create a web on a Web server on your local computer:

The server sent a response which FrontPage could not parse. If you are trying to connect to a FrontPage Server, check with the server's administrator to make sure the FrontPage Server Extensions are installed properly.

When you try to open a web on your local computer, you receive the following message:

The folder 'http://localhost' isn't accessible. The folder may be located on an unavailable volume or protected with a password.

For details see C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\wecerr.txt.

NOTE: Depending on the HTTP location that you type, the error message may be different. For example, the loopback address (127.0.0.1), the computer's IP address, or the computer name may appear instead of localhost. Also, if you try to access a subweb, the path that you typed appears in the message.

If you examine the wecerr.txt file, you see the same error message as when you try to create a new web.



CAUSE
JuniorNet installs a client-side firewall to prevent Internet access. This firewall effectively stops requests from properly routing to the application.



MORE INFORMATION
To use the Web server on your computer, you can disable the firewall.

WARNING: By disabling the firewall, anyone, including the intended users of JuniorNet (ages 3 through 12), will be able to freely access the Internet by using a Web browser. You may want to re-enable the firewall of JuniorNet after you are finished using the Web server.
