Get Thee to a Firewall

I don't see a setting for IIS and I see one for IE, but even IE doesn't work now despite me telling it to. The "Block All" is not on, and the documentation doesn't seem to be helping me any. I've never used this Firewall software before. *I am free now, to choose my own destiny.*

I am really ticked off about this! It says in the log that it is blocking, despite everything I set so that port 80 would work! I tried the Virtual Server on port 80, and got nothing. Does a web server need more than port 80 open in order to work? I put it back on DMZ with Sygate. *I am free now, to choose my own destiny.*

That seems to me to be a reasonable cause for the problems your having. ~~~)-Steven---- "I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country.

When I exit Sygate, everything works, but the system is unprotected. Maybe I'll have better like with Black Ice or something else? This is Windows 2000, so maybe the network connection is different somehow than your ME? *I am free now, to choose my own destiny.*

Allow the webserver [link\|http://soho.sygate.com/support/documents/spf_help/allowing_applications.htm\|access to the network card]? Configure it to act as a server in the [link\|http://soho.sygate.com/support/documents/spf_help/advanced_application_configuration.htm\|advanced configuration menu?] Check [link\|http://soho.sygate.com/support/documents/spf_help/ports_and_protocols.htm\|the rules] to make sure that nothing is blocking you there... They do seem to have [link\|http://forums.sygatetech.com/index.php\|support fora], too. Realistically, I dunno how much more help I can be here, really - I don't actually use Sygate products for anything... grin Maybe trying something else, at least for now, really isn't such a bad idea...

Sygate is going away, maybe Black Ice will work better? I may just have to get an older system to run as a Linux server behind the DMZ and then use Linux to run to the Windows 2000 Server Web Server. The Linux server will then be the Firewall. I got an old Pentium MMX 200 and Pentium II 266Mhz machines to try and get Linux working on them. A friend is going to burn me a copy of Red Hat 7.3, because apparently these machines do not like CDRs burned from my CD Burner? Media Errors on 1X burned CDR disks, bah! *I am free now, to choose my own destiny.*
