Problem with Dreamweaver MX and Panther
This may be an ISP issue and/or a coincidence, but since installing Panther, I can no longer access my remote folders. Dreamweaver connects but then either sticks or quits before the folders appear.
I checked the edit sites function and all's well including the connection check. Has anyone else had this or is it a bad day at the office for the ISP?
All other internet functions are fine.

Absolutely NO PROBLEM synchronizing et al...

Maybe one of these OS X geniuses could tell you some preference files you need to delete or something, I don't really know what else to do other than the usual repair permissions, etc... or maybe re-install Dreamweaver.

You have passive FTP on?
All I get is Host found and then no connection ... it just stays at this point. I've 3 sites using different hosts and my cable modem was checked today.
This all started with Panther and I'm completely stuck ... just hoping it's something simple.
Can anyone who's using Panther without this issue give out any settings they have. I'm not using sharing and switching off the firewall makes no difference.
I connect via ethernet and this is set to automatic.
Thanks

God I have no idea. My connections get dropped a lot, and can be really slow, but this is just because Adelphia sucks my rump (same in 10.2). I just looked in the sites setup, and everything is just set plain and simple. My setup is just a cable modem hooked directly into this machine, with the firewall turned on.
Maybe try trashing DW, and all DW prefs, and reinstalling? Keep the prefs around - test it with all new prefs, then if it works, put your old prefs file back in?
I assume you can connect to the internet fine anywhere else? This is weird (and really annoying for you I am sure )
The moment it connects ... bam every time

Having reinstalled, repaired permissions etc, could this be a memory thing? For web stuff, I'm using an imac 700 with 256mb of ram and 10.3

It doesn't really sound like a memory issue - MM products have a tendency just to crash when running on low memory machines. I am totally baffled - I would definitely post on the MM support forums and see if anyone else is having your issues.

If you haven't done so already I would check with Macromedia to see if there is a Dreamweaver update available. I know they have several issues on their tech site regarding Panther (i.e.: F9, F10, F11 keys reserved for Expose, Fast User Switching, etc.) but they may have updated the MX Updater package with updates for Panther. Just a thought.
