SYMPTOMS
When you attempt to create a new disk-based Web, you receive one of the following error messages:

FrontPage 97 for Windows
Timed out while trying to connect to a server at 'C' on port 80.

FrontPage for Windows 1.1
Unable to connect to a server at 'C' on port 0 (socket code 10049).



CAUSE
This problem occurs if you type a path using the forward slash, such as "c:/webs" (without the quotation marks) in the "Choose a title for your FrontPage Web" dialog box. When the server attempts to resolve the address, it attempts to resolve the folder on the c:\ drive using an IP address.



RESOLUTION
To resolve this problem, in the "Choose a title for your FrontPage Web" dialog box, use a backslash and type the path as follows:

c:\webs



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
