I finally figured out why I could not login to bluehost.com using Firefox. When I would try to login to administer one of my sites I would get a timeout. I could login using IE so it was not a high priority item. I found that if I added the automatic proxy configuration script to the Firefox configuration I could get in. It is interesting that the ISA Firewall client without the script allowed general browsing on port 80 but not on other ports. To adminster a bluehost.com hosted site you need access to port 2082. I have learned a lot about the intricacy of the ISA firewall over the last couple of years but I continue to view ISA as a mysterious black box. Some of the things I have learned about ISA are just not intuitive to me. On the plus side I think it is a very good firewall. Whenver I have had a configureation issue the firewall, the firewall was more secure than I planned. Annoying but safe!
