Originally I was able to open the site by clicking on the "...from and
existing site" option on the navigator bar in publisher.  The adress was
originally loaed via the IP address and then up and downloaded from
www.abctpc.com.  Now I am at such a loss as to how to retrieve it. I would
really hate to have to rebuild the whole thing again.  

I had already read that post to see if it was the same problem, but it
wasn't.  I am using Publisher XP which came with XP office for small
business.  In trying to bring the site back into Publisher to modify it, I
have always been able to click on "Open from an existing website" and I would
get a pop up showing the files being transfered  back from the server.  Now
when I try I simply get "Cannot connect to the webserver
http://www.abctpc.com.  The server could not be located or may be to  busy to
respond."  I have tried using different variations of the web address
including the following:  www.hostcentric.com/abctpc,
http://www.hostcentric.com/abctpc, ftp:\ftp.hostcentric.com\abctp.
Unfortunately all to no avail.  the hosting company recently upgraded it's
platforms and that is when the problems began, but their answer to the whole
situation is to try to get help from Microsoft.  Again, any help you can
offer would be most appreciated.
