If you are using Frontpage try renaming the index.html to default.htm. Frontpage extensions recognize this as the front page in most instances.

Unfriendly configuration of the server may require you to use any of index.htm, default.html, default.htm, or others for the index page filename. Iirc, Brinkster required index pages to be default.htm or default.asp. If you're not managing the server, look in the provider's documentation -- any such deviation from the norm is usually recorded.

is this a local server? what server software are you using?

if you've purchased hosting from someplace then you'll have to ask them and they should be able to fix this.
