RESOLUTION

Set the default document in the master properties for IIS; to do this, do the following:

1. Click Start and point to Programs.
2. Point to Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack.
3. Point to Microsoft Internet Information Server.
4. Click Internet Service Manager.
5. Click the plus sign (+) next to Internet Information Server.
6. Right-click the server name and click Properties.
7. Click the Edit button for the WWW Service.
8. On the Documents tab, add the document name you want to use.

In order to make FrontPage aware of the change, you must stop and restart the Web server. This can be done quickly from the command line by doing the following:

1. Click Start and click Run.
2. Type CMD in the open box.
3. Type the following at the command prompt:
   
   net stop iisadmin /y
   net start w3svc
   net start msftpsvc
   net start smtpsvc

Note: If you are not using the Microsoft FTP Server or the SMTP Service, you do not need to restart them.
