Preview in Browser Save/Put Options?

Question

Hi folks,
I have what seems like a simple problem - new in this second
website I am started in my Dreamweaver. I used to be able to hit
the F12 button, be asked if I wanted to save, and said yes - no
message about "putting" and no blue arrows happily streaming across
in small box...Now, it seems I cannot escape the "Putting" function
if I want to preview? I have gone to Preferences, and checked and
unchecked the box about about that (I think) with no difference, it
just seems faster if the box is checked!
Wondering how I can just preview an ordinary HTML file in
browser locally? It is unnerving to experiment on your page, and go
to preview it, if it is going to be "put' and the "experiment" is
now out on the web?
Thanks for any ideas!
Carol

> Testing Server
> Server model "None"
> Access -->FTP
Try setting Access to None.
Now, please tell me again the details of your symptoms? You
preview, and DW
tries to connect to a remote site? (this is the problem with
hijacking a
thread - it's best to start a new thread).
