This article was previously published under Q189446



For a Microsoft FrontPage 98 and 2000 version of this article, see 194279.



SYMPTOMS
If you install FrontPage while you are connected to the Internet, you may not be able to open pages or Webs in FrontPage after disconnecting your computer from the Internet.



CAUSE
This problem occurs because FrontPage may not write the localhost alias to the Hosts file if you install FrontPage while the computer is connected to the Internet. When you close your connection to the Internet, FrontPage cannot resolve the computer name to the local loopback address, 127.0.0.1.



RESOLUTION
Terminate your connection to the Internet before you install FrontPage.
