Index of Subjects Well, I can at least offer one suggestion for number 2: Be sure that in the IP area there is a file with a name that CSuite expects to find there. In other words, if you have told CSuite during the IP registration process that the file name it should look for is index.html, it will ignore one called index.htm (Believe me, we have run into this one in Victoria!)

On our old Freeport system, IPs have real user accounts >(generic xx001, etc).
