FrontPage Web on shared server

[Karen Knox]

I'm hoping someone out there might be able to help me with this...

We're just starting to use FrontPage 2000 for web page development.  I'm
currently migrating our web site to a new server, running Linux & Apache.
We will not be "publishing" to the Web directly (in the sense of FrontPage
publishing), but rather FTP-ing (actually WinSCP-ing for security) our files
to/from the server.  (I know the FP server extensions exist for Linux, but I
don't want to get into that.)  However, we do have a WinNT 4.0 server that
is a file server, where we have shared drives and such.

What I want to do is create a FrontPage Web on a shared drive on our NT
server so that all members of our Web Team can access it, edit files, etc.
in a common spot that's not on the web server itself.  I've tried this a
number of times, and I can't get it to work.  I installed FrontPage on the
NT server, created the Web, and populated it with all the web files.  Then,
from a client (Win98) workstation, I go into FrontPage and do an Open Web
and point to the shared drive location, and I get this error:
	"The server "" timed out.  The current request did not complete
successfully."
This NT server does not have IIS (or FP server extensions) installed and is
not acting as a web server.  But I wouldn't think it should have to.  I just
want it to store the files.

Can anyone provide any insight for me??  Thanks much.
