= FP1: How to Set Up FrontPage with TCP/IP and a Valid Winsock =

Article ID: Q148413

The information in this article applies to:


 * Microsoft FrontPage for Windows, version 1.0

SUMMARY
This article describes how to set up TCP/IP and a valid Winsock.dll for the FrontPage Personal Web server when you are using either Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups.

FrontPage 1.1 and above will not run on Windows 3.1 or Windows for Workgroups

MORE INFORMATION
The following instructions assume you have already installed the FrontPage client and FrontPage Web Server and you are using a computer that has the following configuration:


 * It is not connected to a network.
 * It does not have an Internet connection.
 * It has an Internet connection with an invalid or non-compliant Winsock.dll installed by a dial-up service.

To use the FrontPage Personal Web Server, do the following:

1. Download a Windows socket, version 1.1 or later. Place the

compressed or zipped file in its own folder, and then decompress or unzip the file. 2. Copy the Winsock.dll, Tcpman.exe, and Tcpman.ini file into your

Windows folder. 3. Run the FrontPage TCP/IP Test.

Note that although the tests may not detect all four common ways to name your computer (localhost, 127.0.0.1, your computer's name, and your  computer's IP address). You can still evaluate and use FrontPage on your personal computer, but you will not be able to share your webs with a  network or the Internet.

127.0.0.1 will most likely pass while the other three will most likely fail. If any of the other computer names pass and 127.0.0.1 fails, substitute that computer name in the following steps. 4. Open the Httpd.cnf file (located in the Vermeer\httpd\conf\ folder) in a

text editor, such as Notepad, and add the following line:

ServerName 127.0.0.1 5. Save and close the file.

6. Start the Personal Web Server. When you create a new Web, specify

the following server name for the Web server:

127.0.0.1

Type a name for your Web and then click OK. You can now create the pages in your Web. To browse your Web, start your browser and specify your URL as

http://127.0.0.1//index.htm where  is the name of the Web you created in step 6.

NOTE: If you do not complete the above steps, the Personal Web Server may appear to work, but the following features will not work properly when you browse your Web:


 * Browsing a folder URL without the trailing slash (/).
 * Image Maps.
 * SmartHTML pages such as searches, form results, discussion webs, and so on.
