Frontpage server extensions access problems Win2000 and WinXp

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

On one Win2000 server I have several webs setup with
FP 2002 Server Extensions -- several work just fine.

One fails various things apparently due to permissions.

Main problems are ...

The web gives this when I attempt to check the FP 2002 extensions
from the IIS MMC locally with right-click->All Tasks->
Check server extensions 2002:

[This site never shows a logon dialog]
http://x.x.x.x/_vti_bin/_vti_adm/fpadmdll.dll?page=health.htm
The page cannot be found
(etc.)

Site works correctly for remote browsing. Site fails for remote

Going to (IIS MMC) Site->Properties->FPSE 2002 -> Settings:
shows the configuration which is set to allow authoring. Proceeding
to the Admin page (for all webs) works.


If any of these other web sites on the same server are selected
a logon authentication box, accepts the passwords, and gives a
page with columns of "Detect" and "Repair" checkboxes which
work correctly. Also manageable by FrontPage remotely.

The problem site never gives a logon box but proceeds straight
to a "The page cannot be found" html page.
http://x.x.x.x/_vti_bin/_vti_adm/fpadmdll.dll?page=webadmin.htm
(Looks suspiciously like the "Health" page error above.)

One might expect the discrepancy between the trouble sites and
the working sites is the lack of a secure logon method, but checking
the problem site shows that both Anonymous and Integrated are
checked.

Also, the Internet Explorer (used when one checks the web or
when one goes to FP 2002 Admin) is configured to allow integrated
security (but that was obviously working since the other sites
show the logon box and allow the actual logon.)

(Remote) FrontPage authoring/admin of this site fails as well, but
then I can't even get to the page where the admins/authors/browsers
are set.

Help or a good pointer to a troubleshooting doc would be very
much appreciated.
