I suspect the answer to this is to contact my ISP -- I sent emails
late last night and anticipate an answer today, meanwhile, is it
possible that FP is causing this problem?

I maintain five websites on two different host servers.

HOST A:
website 1, 2, 3

HOST B:
Website 4, 5

I purchased a new computer, installed it Tuesday.

I copied my websites from my old computer's hard drive to an external
HD, then, when the new computer was running, I installed FP 2003 from
the original CD and copied the websites from the external HD to the
new computer's HD.

I then made minor editorial changes to each website and tried to
publish.

In the case of each of the five websites, when I hit the Publish
button, I got the usual pop-up into which I entered the publishing
destination,http://website.com.  FP then came back and asked for user
ID and password.  I entered the user ID and password that I have
written down in my documentation.

In the case of websites 1 and 2, the changed pages published without a
hitch.

In the case of websites 3, 4, and 5, I cannot get past the user ID and
password because FP tells me the server is not accepting my password.

However, in the case of each website, I can access the control panel.
For websites 3, 4, and 5, I went to the control panels and changed the
passwords.  Tried to publish again with new passwords, nothing doing.

As I said at the outset, I suspect a problem with the host server but
thought I'd ask if there's a possibility that FP is causing the
problem.- Hide quoted text -

Thanks -- I uninstalled-reinstalled on one server and cleared up the
error thre.

On the other server I'm having problems -- cannot uninstall, cannot
cleanup, cannot reinstall and their tech support seems to be a class
of second graders. I think I will dump this host and find someone
else to host my sites. I have had sites hosted with this company for
five years, then, about four months ago they changed their name and
owners and since then it's been nothing but trouble.

I need a host that support FP extensions AND that supports the FP
search function.
