Re: Explorer stops working for http pages, https works, Firefox to

No proxy shown anywhere in the control panel, unless it's very well hidden
somewhere. The "Windows Firewall" entry is showing, but I cannot open it, as
"ipnat.sys" is busy, which I assume is because of the fact that I only have 1
network card (firewall provided externally on the router). And since I can
browse find anything but http and http works with Firefox, NAT seems to be
not a problem.

I by now reran the full SP1 installation (Windows Server and SBS etc.),
reinstalled all protocols etc. on the network card, went through the whole
installation tasklist, all to no avail. Any other ideas?? Thanks for the
effort!
