FP 2002- The server "" timed out - puzzle

I have been using FrontPage for three years. I have
successfully created and maintained two web-sites:
TheWiseChoice.com since 2000 and OmahaLWV.org since Feb 03.
Both are hosted by Earthlink.net. I am running Microsoft
XP Home edition on a fairly new Compaq.

On Saturday, 8/16 I updated OmahaLWV.org. No problems.
Then Sunday I tried to update TheWiseChoice.com, but
FrontPage sends me the following message whenever I open
my local website, or click on reports or try to publish:
The server "" timed out. The current request did not
complete successfully.

Today I again updated OmahaLWV.org with no problems. Does
anybody have a clue where this message comes from or why
it may be appearing?? I would sincerely appreciate your
insights--or even your guesses! ;-) /k
 
BTW, I still cannot update TheWiseChoice.com. I'm not
sure where or how to start to rebuild it. Guess I should
reverse publish from earthlink and start reapplying
changes one at a time?
 
Yes. The young East Indian fellow didn't have a clue. He
just said, "Try again later." But perhaps if I contact
them again I'll get someone more saavy next time.
 
An excellent Earthlink rep worked with me and finally
suggested that I reinstall the Frontpage extensions. I
did that today. But I still have the same puzzle. This
is what happens
1. I can successfully log into my earthlink server site
through Internet Connections, through FTP or through
earthlink.
2. In FP I select file, publish.
3. The list of files comes up in both windows.
4. I click publish.
5. I am left with two dialog boxes:
- One box reads "Listing pages in C:\Kay\My
webs\TheWiseChoice... [CANCEL]
- Second box reads "The server "" timed out. The
current request did not complete successfully." [OK]
6. When I click OK both boxes go away.

This is a serious problem for me because I can no longer
update my site. If you have any suggestions please let me
know. I am fairly good at solving software puzzles, but
I've put in many many hours at this without success.
Thanks.
 
First find and delete your web cache file (*.web)
Then open your online site in FP and run a Tools Recalculate Hyperlinks
File Open Web http://www.TheWiseChoice.com/ and log in
- if you can't have Earthlink repair or reinstall the FP SE
Then (w/ your online web open), In FP open your local web and publish it)
