[Zope] changes not "sticking"

I installed Zope on an NT Server machine - everything seemed to work OK.
Then, from another computer running Internet Explorer, I logged on to the
management interface to try to set up a new web site. It asked for a name
and password (there's just the one original one right now), which I entered
and it accepted. So far, so good. I created a new folder under the root, and
proceeded to edit the index_html file. When I click the "Change" button, the
screen refreshes with the new DTML code. However, after going through
several cycles of this, I used the tree view in the left frame to navigate
elsewhere, then to navigate back to the site I created, but the index_html
file had its original, default contents! I've tried this several times, each
time with the same results. It seems to me that I had not encountered this
problem when I went through the Zope tutorial initially; however, that was
while sitting at the machine Zope was installed on, and using the
"localhost" style URL. When I get home this evening (the Zope machine is
there), I will check to see if everything still works that way, but I
thought I'd see if either I'm doing something wrong, or anyone has
encountered this problem before.
