Hmm... did your host give you some kind of 'welcome to your site' type of email that provides you with all your FTP information? You'll need that, and if not, you'll need to contact your host for these 3 main things: FTP acct name (used in the 'FTP Host' box - many are just www.yourdomain.com) ... Username (used in the 'Login' box) and your password. Add those thing to Dreamweaver, hit your Test button, and see what it says. You should connect successfully if you have all the information correct. Now if you want to upload your entire website, you might have to add one more variable into the Manage Site box... Depending on how your host sets up their accounts, your web files might go into a 'www' or 'public_html' folder or something to that sort. Figure out what it is and add that into the 'Host directory' box in Dreamweaver's Manage Site window and MAKE SURE there is a TRAILING SLASH. (For instance, mine has to be public_html/) .... Then when you Upload your files, you should be good to go. Good luck and let me know how it goes!

it doesn't hurt to read the help files. Dreamweaver in my experience doesn't like yahoo registered sites. try moving the information around. You will figure it out.
