Upgrading to FP SE 2002 on WinNT, IIS 4

I'm attempting to install FP SE 2002 on our WinNT box for one domain that we
host. We host about a hundred domains total on this server, and while I
don't care if they all get the 2002 upgrade (only about half a dozen use FP
at all, and just this one is using FP 2002).

I installed the FP2002SE exe, but web page it tried to open (I'm assuming a
config/management page) after installation could not be found.

When I attempt to Upgrade to 2002 Extensions in IIS, a page is launched
going to:
http://(machine
name):4424/fpadmdll.dll?page=newservr.htm&port=LM/W3SVC/66&frport=(url
encoded domain name)

This doesn't work, I get a "Page cannot be displayed" error. If I change the
"machine name" to the actual IP of the machine, I get the same error. If I
then change the IP to the domain I'm attempting to set up, I get prompted
for a user/pass, which I fill out w/ the Admin info. When I submit it, I get
the same page cannot be displayed error.

I have attempted to open the MS SharePoint Administrator, but it also
attempts to open a webpage (http://(machine name):4424/fpadmdll.dll) that
cannot be found, no matter if I change the machine name to the IP or not.

I have uninstalled FP2kSE twice & re-installed them, rebooting both times. I
can't find anything worthwhile on MS' site, and searching newsgroups has
found me nothing that resulted in a fix.

I can launch FPMMC, and I see FrontPage Server Extensions -> (machine name),
but there's nothing in there to do other than Check Server Extensions, and
that just 'tightens up security.'

I'm really frustrated and feeling particularly dumb. I hope someone can
help?

Thanks,
Shawn
