Hi Frank,

Thanks for the suggestion.

I have installed the 916106 hot fix that includes the 915045 hotfix when I first installed SP2, about 3 weeks ago. How could I find out which ports are used by these applications? Netscape 8.0 and FireFox 1.0.7.

The ports they use are the same ports that every other web browser uses.
How could it possibly be otherwise?

Or what do I have to do to get these browsers to work properly.


ISA is, among other things, a web proxy. IE has been told about that,
your Mozilla browsers haven't. Configure them to use the same proxy
settings as IE.

I would suggest you also use Opera and Amaya, and keep a link to the
WWW validator handy. Remember IE6 is just about the least WWW-conformant
browser around. Amaya is the reference, and Opera is pretty good. IE7
should be much better. You probably want a beta of that if you don't
already have it.

But they'll all do different things, and there are plenty of sites
listing workarounds for different browsers. Messy, though.

Depending on your target audience and where you are in the world, you
may want to make sure the site is accessible to people with disabilities
i.e. that the content still makes sense to a text-only browser, so that
the oddities like Braille terminals and speech synthesisers can deal
with it.
