Been uploading files to my server with no problems for 5 years when suddenly I get this message which blocks all uploads. As far as I know I have never had or used a 'testing server'? Your help is solving this would be most appreciated.

To everyone who has toiled diligently to solve my DW problem these many days, I want to express my sincere and heartfelt gratitude. That you do this for the few bones Adobe sees fit to throw your way, demonstrates just how dedicated you really are to your profession and helping people like me manage, for over 20 years, with a technology it hardy understands.

Having said that, I regret to add you all wasted your time with me for the problem was not with DW at all, but with my ISP the past 12 years (who will remain nameless to void any possible lynchings on your part) for failing to inform me last week that he had moved my two websites to a new server with a new IP address. All I had to do was input the new IP address in DW and it now works fine.

Best regards,

I'm obviously not very technical so I really find some of the comments more confusing than helpful. For example, where am I supposed to check for the Doc types listed in #32.? I need step-by-step instructions on how to unblock my inability to upload changes to my sites. Nancy & B i r n o u seems to have been offering the best comments so far that I can follow. Could you two work this out and offer a solution. If you need more specific information from me, a step by step explanation with no technical jargon would work best with me.

There are also conversations going on here that do not address my issue. I've never used an Adobe forum before, but I'm shocked at the way it works or doesn't work. I do appreciate your help and realize that although I've been doing successful html based sites for over 20 years, I've always depended on website generators like DW to get it done. I have no coding experience and have never moved beyond simple html since 1997.
