address changes from web to servername when using web folders

[Shawn Clabough]

When I go to a FrontPage site (e.g. http://www.myserver.com) via web folders and then try to open up
one of the subwebs (e.g. volunteers), the address it goes to changes to
http://myservername/volunteers which causes an error - it should be
http://www.myserver.com/volunteers. I can open the subweb via FrontPage, but it's creating all the
links as either file:// or myservername/ links, rather than using the web address in them.

Anyone see this before and know of a fix?

TIA,
Shawn

Try http://volunteers/myservername.com

I can get into the web if I go straight to it via web folders (i.e. www.myserver.com/volunteers),
but if I click on the sub-web from the parent is when it changes to http://servername/volunteers,
instead of http://www.myserver.com/volunteers

where servername is the NetBIOS name of the box and www.myserver.com is the DNS name.

This is happening from multiple machines running XP SP2. I also noticed that the subwebs in the
folder are showing up as a normal folder icon and not as a subweb icon.
