Hello Setup I have a Windows 2000 server run network. I am using a Windows xp machine running Dreamweaver MX 2004. I have a SuSe server on the network (not in the same workgroup) running apache/ MySQL/ and PHP. Issue Step one im afraid..... When I go to define a new site in DWMX2004 i am having problems entering the testing servers URL Prefix. I can not put in the name of the machine as in http://name/Rootfolder because the only DNS running in the network is on the Active Directory server, and the linux bo is not talking to that, so it doesn't know about it. And i have tried using the internal IP for the linux machine with the port address which the router uses to reroute to the linux machine http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx/RootFolder and that doesnt work either. Now when i say the later doesnt work it does allow syncroisation between my local folder and the server but when i go to preview pages (F12) it gives me an apache 404. I could go on and on about the details so questions anyone or preferaby answers anyone?? Im driving myself mad here ive just gotten past a samba and MySQL minefield (i hope) and I thought my old friend Dreamweaver would be nice to me ........ Any ideas? Anything at all might help! Orbi
