| Your home page is named default.htm   (note the lower case "d" in default)
| All the links to the home page that I looked at point to Default.htm  (note
| the UPPER case "D")
|
| Unix is a case sensitive operating system - default.htm and Default.htm are
| two different files as far as Unix is concerned, but the same file on
| Windows.
|
| In the local copy of your web you will have to rename Default.htm to
| default.htm
|
| This needs two steps:
| In FrontPage with the web open,
| 1st - rename Default.htm  to  default.html
| 2nd - rename default.html to default.htm
|
| The two steps are needed because Windows sees Default.htm and default.htm as
| the same file, and will not allow the rename to take place.
|
| You should also remove all spaces from file and folder names - some browsers
| can't handle them.
|
| Two FrontPage add-ins that might help with the renaming and spaces, both
| obtainable from http://www.jimcoaddins.com/addins.aspx   are the Space
| Replacer    and   Case Changer, but using these may mean republishing the
| entire web.
