Frontpage and Windows XP Professional
These instructions are for logging into Frontpage on a machine
running
Windows XP Professional.
How do I know which Operating System I have?
Hold the Start Key (Between the left Ctrl and Alt Key) and hit
Pause/Break (near Num Lock) to find out which operating
system your computer has.
A window will pop up with information on your system.
Start Frontpage
Usually found in START > PROGRAMS > MICROSOFT OFFICEOn the
Menu bar choose FILE>OPEN SITE or
FILE>OPEN WEB (older versions)

Click "My Network Places" or "Web Folders" at the bottom...
Next to site name enter the address you wish to edit. Typically
this address will be provided in an email. Make sure to start the
address with http:// or it will not work.

If you are on-campus your site will probably open without a password
because of your initial login to the network.
If you are off-campus or are prompted for password:
Enter your SALISBURY\ and then your username in box for username.
NOTE: This is the \ slash below the backspace and not the usual / by the
shift key.
Enter your synchronized password as the password. (see example
picture below)
If the password box pops back up: (This is only for
www.salisbury.edu addresses)
This is the tricky part. There is a quirk in the system which
should be repaired in the fall semester. In the interim:
Hit OK to the password box once. When it comes back hit cancel on
the second time.
- If you get an error stating "The server could not complete
your request." then most likely your password entered was
wrong. You can check your password by synchronizing it at:
https://www2.salisbury.edu/password
If the Open Site box is still there hit Open.
If the Open Site box disappears go to the OPEN SITE or OPEN WEB and type
in the address again and hit open. Your site should open. It
sounds odd and we are sorry for the trouble.
