Mike, There are a few things that you haven't said if you have setup or not, I have never liked the way CFB defines things and where it is all over the place. Anyway lets start with a few basics.
1) Server setup. When setting up a server in CFB you need to do this for each and every IP and Port. In here you tell it where your website files are located and where CF is located, as well as other things. That part is important for what your looking for. 2) Project Setup It sounds like you have the basics of the project setup. But you need to tell the project which server your using, which is done by RMB on the project and going to properies, which from here you can go into the settings and select which server the project is to use. Also in the project settings in the above step, you also can tell it any mappings you need the IDE to know about, so in the example of custom mappings they can also be added at the above step. Hopefully that can get you going some more, if not ping me.
