I think I have a port issue with Microsoft Front Page. I
have been web-publishing just fine until I recently
installed Norton Personal Firewall. When my firewall is
DISABLED, I can still web-publish like old times,
however, when the firewall is ENABLED and I try to start
FrontPage, "An Internet Services for Windows (wininet)
error occurred." Think I need to open a separate port?
What firewall port does FrontPage typically want to use,
and how do I set it?

Appreciate your assistance,
John

only TCP port 80 unless secure transport (SSL) is used=20
on TCP 443=20
