Frontpage blocking a site???

[ccleis]

I used Frontpage to update my website (I am not a web person--I was walked
through this by the person who built the site). All the changes (added some
links,
removed some text) were saved and everything seemed fine; I opened the site
and checked that each change appeared as I made the changes. The next day I
was unable to open the site in Frontpage (can't find server on port 80), and
cannot even get to the site through IE (alternately get 'cannot be displayed'
and 'site not found') or Mozilla (times out). What could possibly have been
set so that this site
is blocked? I even went into IE settings and entered the site as always
accessible (regardless of how rated) thinking it might override whatever is
in there. The hosting service can't find anything wrong, and colleagues can
get to the site just fine. I have DSL and a wireless network; tried my
laptop and had the same problem (going through the same modem and router,
obviously)... I don't even know where to look!!

Have you tried disabling your firewall?

God advice. I stopped receiving email for 3 days, starting 3 days ago. When
I finally tracked it down, it turned out that the latest Windows Update had
turned Windows Firewall back ON, despite the fact that I had previously
turned it OFF. I guess Microsoft is starting to take lessons from Symantec!

My webhosting service suggested I traceroute, which I did; the analysis
showed Report for www.bapp.biz [67.18.44.234]
Analysis: 'www.bapp.biz' [234.67-18-44.reverse.theplanet.com] was found in
12 hops (TTL=54). It is running a HTTP server on port 80 (Apache/1.3.33
(Unix) mod_auth_passthrough/1.8 mod_log_bytes/1.2
mod_bwlimited/1.4 PHP/4.3.9 FrontPage/5.0.2.2635 mod_ssl/2.8.22
OpenSSL/0.9.7a).

So why can't FrontPage find a server on port 80? I will check the firewall
(didn't know I had one).

Hi Catherine,

If you're using Windows XP, Service Pack 2 installed the firewall. The
latest update merely turned it back on.

Doesn't the SR2 firewall have an include or allow feature?
I don't use the SR2 firewall...McAfee.
The latest update did not change my settings.
