I signed up with ourinternet.us one month ago with a reseller account. I have had several issues and tech support has been very prompt and courteous in resolving them. However, I have come up against an issue that they say they cannot resolve. Actually, they are saying that they cannot reproduce the problem. The problem I am having is logging into two of my web sites via FrontPage. When I attempt to do so, I get an error message instead of being prompted for a username and password. Here is the error message: "The server sent a response which FrontPage could not parse. If you are trying to connect to a Windows SharePoint Services server, check with the server's administrator to make sure Windows SharePoint Services is installed properly." Since they claim that it is working fine and that there must be something wrong with my network, I was hoping that I could get several of the community members to be so kind as to try opening either of my webs via FrontPage and reporting their findings. Here are the two web sites churchofchristashland.org churchofchristmedina.org If you would be able to try this, please report back whether you get the same error as me, a login prompt, or some other behavior. It would also be helpful to tell what ISP you are going through. They also gave me these instructions: "If you are having any proxies or firewalls or some else other programs running, which may be blocking the access for you from connecting to our network or our server, we request you to disable them and try again" Thanks for any help that any of you can provide.

Got a little different error message but basically the same thing. (mine basically said the server did not have FrontPage extensions installed) Ask your host to re-install FP extensions on those accounts even if they show to be properly installed on their end. I have had this happen once or twice where the only thing I could figure was that the extensions didn't install properly on an account even though they appeared to. Re-installing them always solved the problem for my accounts. I also noticed your site has some real "garbage" code in there. You must have been "cutting & pasting" from other Office apps (probably Word) into FrontPage. This is never a good idea IMHO and I haven't a clue if that might be "confusing" FrontPage's edit in IE features. An example is that above the head tag is: I have no idea what that is but it shouldn't be at the page top outside the head tag and probably shouldn't be there at all.

Try this disable integrated authentication and use basic authentication instead. I have some experiences esp some proxies having prob with integrated authentication when using Front Page.
