This article was previously published under Q296643

SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft FrontPage Explorer, when you open or create a new web by using the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, you may receive one of the following error messages

There is no server on port 443 at server name. You have selected the option 'Connect Using SSL'. This connection problem may indicate that the server does not support Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) communications, or that it uses SSL communications on a different port number.

-or-

Unable to connect to server at 'xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx' on port 443 (socket code 13101).

where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx represents the host name or Internet Protocol (IP) address of your FrontPage web.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs if you are using 128-bit encryption. Microsoft FrontPage 98 does not support 128-bit encryption; it supports only 40-bit encryption.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, use 40-bit encryption.
