DW 8 not recognizing test server

Question

I'm trying to set up a test server in Dreamweaver 8 on XP.
The web server is IIS running on a Windows server. I am mapped to
the drive share where the wwwroot is located.
In the "Site Definition" dialog, under testing server, I
picked "asp vpscript" as the server model, "Local/Network" for
Access, and pointed to the network share for the "Testing server
folder".
After clicking ok and opening a new asp document, all of the
tabs under "Application" all say "To use dynamic data on this
page:..." Every thing is checked off except "Set up the site's
testing server".
No matter what I do I can not get DW to recognized that the
Testing Server has been set-up.
Does anybody know what to do at this point?
Thanks

You missed one crucial point here, the URL Prefix.
In the testing server dialog you specify which folder
corresponds to which
url,
you have to configure your IIS to use that folder as a
virtual directory and
enter the corresponding url.
