For a Microsoft FrontPage 98 and 2000 version of this article, see
194279.
SYMPTOMS
If you install FrontPage while you are connected to the Internet, you
may not be able to open pages or Webs in FrontPage after disconnecting
your computer from the Internet.
CAUSE
This problem occurs because FrontPage may not write the localhost alias to
the Hosts file if you install FrontPage while the computer is connected to
the Internet. When you close your connection to the Internet, FrontPage
cannot resolve the computer name to the local loopback address, 127.0.0.1.
RESOLUTION
Terminate your connection to the Internet before you install FrontPage.
