Microsoft calls web sites "webs", that means a web site that has frontpage
extensions enabled.
I have a simple web site on the XP pro IIS, its default site for example.
I cannot open it in Frontpage although when I go to the http://kenny-xp (the
local host) address the browser does display the page.

I have no idea what a STS is.

I do not know what I am running, I am just posting what frontpage is telling
me.... I dont know what sharepoint is and I have never installed it.
