ftp error occured - newbie

HelloI hope you don't mind a novice in here. I am taking a class and also helping a friend. I am using student version dwmx2004, IE6.
Up until tonight I was able to preview my pages, but now I am getting this error when I hit F12...
FTP error occured-can not make connection to host. The remote host can not be found.
I have only been able to connect to the host once in the last 2 months, but always been able to preview pages regardless. I have a different website that I can connect to and still able to preview tonight. I just can't figure it out. I can not preview anything created today or prior.
I was working on creating templates and forms when this all happened. Could I have changed something by creating these files? If anyone has any ideas, I would GREATLY appreciate it!
Thank you<img src=../images/dmxzone/forum/icon_smile.gif border=0 align=middle>

Im not a pro but try this..
Click on Site on the menu bar and then click Manage Sites. Hightlight the appropriate site and click the Edit button on the right. Under Category on the lefthand side of the Site Definition window, highlight Remote Info. If the <b>"Automatically upload files to server on save"</b> has a checkmark next to it, it means that dreamweaver will attempt to upload the files to the FTP server that you specified. If the FTP host, Host directory, or Login info is wrong- then you will get the error message. So its either you correct the FTP info or uncheck the "Automatically upload files to server on save".
Keep in mind that Dreamweaver prompts you to save the file you are working on whenever you hit F12 to preview it.
hope that helped..
