I am probably asking a stupid question, but in doing some searching I was unable to come up with an answer.
I created a new site in Dreamweaver MX 2004. Nothing fancy, about 5 pages, some graphics, created my own css styles for text formatting. I originally created the site on my desktop machine. Tonight I decided to do some editing on the site and opened it up on my iBook (connected via Airport Extreme to the desktop computer). I went into Site management and created a new site that pointed to the shared folder on the desktop G4. Did some text editing then uploaded the pages to the FTP site. After the upload it prompts you to update links, to which I said okay. After that in Design view all the images showed up as broken links. I noticed that in the properties of the images the paths had changed from /images/image1.jpg to ../images/image1.jpg. So I did a Find/Replace and set them all back to the way they were. The images reappeared in design view, so I thought all was well. When I uploaded again they reverted to the ../ path. So I got annoyed and went to the desktop machine and restored the pages from a backup the night before. Then the same thing happened, all images had broken icons and the paths all started with ../.
I am sure I am doing something stupid, and just need someone here to totally embarass me publicly and tell me what simple thing I'm missing. I'm a programmer by trade but up until now all of my web work was done in pure html in a text editor. I suspect I wasn't ready for the WYSIWYG world of Dreamweaver.
Many thanks in advance!

Update: Just decided to open up the project one more time...now the images all have file:// in their paths. I'm done for the night, off to bed.

Did you create a site in dreamweaver, so you see your files in the file palette? Look in the window menu for the files palette. If you don't create a site, dreamweaver will put absolute links in for the images, which is why you see the file: thing.

I created a site and pointed the root folder to the location on the other machine, for some reason it didn't like that. Took the easy way out and moved the files to the iBook and created a new site locally. I'm spending more and more time on the iBook anyway. Thanks!
