Trust me; the answer to your question is most likely that your website has
gotten to big.
During FP publishing, it checks each and every page against what is already
on the host site. For sites over 40meg this takes a long time - to long for
FP, and FP then gives all kinds of messages that can be seen by you as the
ones you got; such as server time out, cannot find your site, the ext. are
not install, and your ext. are corrupt.
You cannot get around this problem except to break up your website into
smaller subwebs or subsites.
You can turn off your firewall, shut down your antivirus, and all kinds of
stuff and nothing will work for you but to breakup your site, especially in
the long run.
You can probably ask your host to extend your timeout period, but most hosts
do not like doing this, since, as your site grows the same problem will occur
all over again
Good Luck
