Dreamweaver CS5 stops responding when you try to open a document

When you try to open a document in Dreamweaver CS5 or CS5.5, it takes anywhere from 30 seconds to several minutes for Dreamweaver to open it. Dreamweaver stops responding until the document opens.

Solution: Disable the Resolve to IP Address feature

Disable Dreamweaver's Resolve To IP Address feature using the instructions for your operating system.

Mac OS

  1. Quit Dreamweaver.

  2. In the Finder, navigate to /Users/[username]/Library/Preferences. 

  3. Open the Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Prefs file (CS5) or the Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5 Prefs file (CS5.5) in TextEdit.

  4. Locate the [REMOTE DOWNLOAD] section in the file. It looks similar to the following:
    [REMOTE DOWNLOAD]
    remotedownloadcachesize=1000
    remotedownloadallow=TRUE

  5. At the bottom of this section, add a line that says: resolveremoteurltoipaddress=FALSE

    The [REMOTE DOWNLOAD] section now looks like the following:
    [REMOTE DOWNLOAD]
    remotedownloadcachesize=1000
    remotedownloadallow=TRUE
    resolveremoteurltoipaddress=FALSE

  6. Save the file, and then quit TextEdit.

Additional information

When you open documents that contain remote URI references in Dreamweaver, it contacts a DNS server to qualify each remote URI to its IP address. With some network configurations, it can take several seconds or longer, causing Dreamweaver to become unresponsive until it receives the response from the DNS server. If the document contains one or more invalid URIs, it can take longer to receive the response from the DNS server.
