A follow-on note. Maybe I didn't "Google Groups" but only Googled first...
Thanks to a blog entry by Susan Bradley, I see that I am not the only one to
have encounted this problem. Google Groups for "returned from call to
Fixing the inheritance for root" to see all the discussion on this. It
seems to me that there may be bug in the CEICW that changes the IP directory
security settings in IIS. Resetting the default web site to default denied,
with only the server local area connection (198.162.16.2 in my case) and
localhost (127.0.0.1) permitted, followed by an iisreset, not only fixed the
CEICW error (when it is rerun), but I am now able to browse my web site
locally!

Note that this is not the same problem that KB888817 addresses where a
virtual directory alias contains a comma and CEICW hangs, but with a similar
icwlog error.

Marina, thank you for responding. If you have time, I still wouldn't mind
hearing what you think about my questions of POP3 AND SMTP, and the NTP
packet filter issue. Anyway, thank you for your willingness to look into
this! It is appreciated!

Learning about all the different community support options is making a big
difference in how I view attempting some independent consulting on SBS.
