Front Page Explorer uses port 80 for publishing in most cases (unless you go the ftp route, which doesnt work very well). As long as you have outbound HTTP allowed everything should work fine. Authentication is based on NTLM though, and does not work through HTTP proxies. If the Firebox does indeed have an HTTP proxy, you will need to add a bypass for your ISP's server. Bypassing the proxy may only work for us though, because we bypass it at the Foundry ServerIron switch that does layer 4 redirection to the Cacheflow proxy. I have seen some people overcoming the NTLM problem, under some voodoo circumstances, by playing with proxy settings in Front Page Explorer. Also, try logging on with "domain\user" rather than "user". This will require knowing which NT domain or machine name your ISP is using. Misha On Mon, 7 Jun 1999, Colin Horsington wrote:
Hello, Does anyone know what ports Frontpage 98 requires. We have recently installed a new Firewall (Watchguard Firebox II) and now cannot update our remote web page (hosted by an ISP). It stops at the authentication stage and so I can only assume that the ports it requires are blocked. Any suggestions.... Cheers, Colin
