32-bit TCP/IP blah blah...
Discussion
OK, so I thought it was time I had a website, cos the 21st century is fast disappearing.
So I create a masterpiece (let's call it CurryHeads
) in FrontPage and click 'Publish'. I give it the destination and it tells me that 32-bit wotsit isn't installed or configured correctly (Win 2000). I follow the Help links and advice, but Networking on Control Panel doesn't show me what the Help says it should.
What's missing and what can I do to correct it?

Publish is always a pain in the ass.
just locate where you have saved the site to.. and use good old fasioned FTP to upload the website
100x Easier
Er.... you lost me after "ass"
I have some ntlworld webspace, apparently; I was going to use that. Piece of cake, or so I thought...
What Jamie is saying is that you should forget about FrontPage's "publish" feature (sic) as it is pants.
Instead you want to get a special piece of software that allows you to transfer files between your local computer and a remote computer (in this case your web host).
This is an FTP client (FTP stands for "File Transfer Protocol").
There are several around, such as WS_FTP, CuteFTP, etc. Just pick one, they're mostly much of a muchness if all you want to do is upload files to a web host.
They are much, much faster than fannying around with FrontPage's lame publish feature.

Cheers Jon, will look into it. You'd think that by FrontPage 2003 they'd have got it to work...
Just for your information you can use Windows Explorer to copy stuff up to a webber.
Type the ftp address for your site in the address bar and press return and off she goes, the address should appear in Network places. You obv need to enter the user id and password or even...
FTP://[username]:[password]@YourWebFTPAddress.cotton.uk or whatever. The cotton bit was my attempt at a joke
You can then drag and drop from Explorer.

This is a nice simple way, thats easy to use for most.. This is what I tend to get people without FTP experience to use.
The only downside is your FTP password is shown on screen (unless you simply ignore the password bit, and It will pop up and ask you!)
