HELP!!! Dreamweaver could not connect you to the remote server"

Hi all,

I have been struck by what seems a common problem with Dreamweaver/Contribute.

I get this message when trying to “Enable Contribute compatibility” in Dreamweaver:

“Dreamweaver could not connect you to the remote server. You cannot perform Contribute administration tasks without a connection to a remote server. Please fix the remote connection before continuing.”

I have read that DW will try to write and delete a file to confirm the connection… When I look at the FTP log of DW, it confirms that the Temp file has been written and deleted.

So, it has in fact connected to the remote server...!

Things I have done to try to eliminate errors includes:
• Ensure Contribute is not open on the PC.
• Contacted my ISP to ensure that “/” is the “Host directory”
• Modified the URL in each of the tabs listed below
 Including the Base web address

Below are the settings I have selected in the Site definition window:
Local info:
Local root folder: v\website\
Links relative to Document:
Http address: http://www.website.com

Remote Info:
Access FTP
FTP Host www.website.com
Host directory /

Contribute:
Rollback enabled: Currently off
CPS enable Currently off
Site URL: http://www.website.com

I have spoken to my ISP: www.webcentral.com.au
• They have confirmed that Contribute is used on their products by other users.
• They also stated that they sell Sharepoint as their CMS option

What other things can I try to eliminate this problem?
