Cannot Connect to Remote Website FP 2003

FP extensions are installed on a Website that was originally published using
FP 2000 on Win XP Pro.
I then installed XP SP2 and upgraded FP 2000 to FP 2003 in a general MS
Office upgrade - allowing Office to do the upgrading without uninstalling the
previous version.
In FP 2003 I opened the Website (from C:/) created in FP 2000 and tried to
Publish it to its host, http://deltamusicmakers.org.
The "Connect To" dialogue box does not log onto the remote Website.
The error box says: Unable to open http://deltamusicmakers.org Possible
causes:
1. FP extensions not installed
2. Server out of service
3. proxy settings may not be correct.
4. Error on Server.
I can log on using FTP in Windows Explorer using the username and password.
I have Windows firewall "off" as well as Zone Alarm "off." The Hit Counter
continues to work suggesting the Extensions are still installed.
My computer is a standalone with me as the only user and I have not
consciously set up any administrative controls.
I would appreciate any advice on how I can analyze and solve my problem. I
suspect I could publish using FTP, but would prefer the http to utilize the
FP components.
Thank you
