Unable to open my domain with FrontPage
I've just switched to a new hosting company. I've been with many in the past, so I'm very familiar with Windows servers and FrontPage. However, with this particular host, I can't get FrontPage to access any of my domains. I get the following error message BEFORE it even prompts me for a username or password.
Unable to open 'http://mydomain.com'. Possible causes:
1. The web server may not have the FrontPage server extensions installed.
2. The web server may be temporarily out of service.
3. If you are connecting through a proxy server, the proxy settings may be incorrect.
4. An error may have occurred in the web server.
I contacted the tech-support department of my host and they verified that the extension were installed properly and they successfully logged into my domains with FrontPage. This makes it sound like it could be on my end, but if it is, it's not a universal problem to all FrontPage servers because I can still log into one of my other hosts with FrontPage with no problem.
I'm really desperate for a resolution as I have several clients depending on me. :-)
Any ideas?

Did the DNS change in your domain registrar update correctly?
Also, on the off chance that your previous webhost also happened to be your internet service provider, did they flush their DNS of your old domain names. (I see that quite a bit at my workplace)

I can't even open the console to attempt to stop it. MMC won't run.
Oops. I replied to the wrong question. Please ignore my previous comment.
If it is the hsting company's fault, tell them they need to add www to their records.
