Vista & Home Network Web Server Troubles

I'm running a web server (IIS) on a Win XP Pro machine on our home network.
We have been using FrontPage 2000 on that and our other XP machines to
maintain the web pages. We recently replaced my wife's PC with a Vista
Home Premium machine. I've installed FrontPage on that machine but Vista
will not let her log into our local using the URL we used to use, that is,
http://HostMachineName/WebName. Running as Administrator does not help.
That URL does bring up the web in a web browser. Front page can open the
web if it's opened as a file by the path \\HostMachineName\WebName but then
FrontPage does not have privileges to save the files. The permissions on
the Web folders are set to "Full Control".

Can someone explain how I can configure FrontPage on my wife's Vista
machine so that she can maintain the local webs running on my XP Pro
machine like she used to be able to do when she was running XP Home?

From all reports you won't get Front Page 2000 to work with Vista.
MS has a replacement, lol. "Expression"

Thanks Mick. I've installed the trial version of Expression Web on my
wife's PC. Thus far it seems to be working OK and allows her to revise
pages on the IIS web server running on my XP Pro machine. I hope that not
too many compatibility issues surface between the the Vista client software
and my XP web server.
