Re: Frontpage98

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.
