Actually, I had changed the default port to 80 in web messaging manager and
it was working inside the firewall. I then decided I would just open 80 to
everything. I then started narrowing what could use port 80 and when I got
back to the original configuration web messaging was working outside the
firewall. I don't know exactly what happened but its working now on port 80
through the firewall. Whatsup however still does not see it as a www
service.

The web interface runs on Port 8383, not the default port of 80. try
allowing that port through your firewall.

I just put up my firewall and discovered I can't get the web messaging to
work through it. I have setup the web messaging port as 80 so that it would
be a normal www service. Apparently there is something special about the
web interface. If I open the firewall for www for that server it won't let
it pass and Whatsup (an ipswitch network monitoring program) doesn't
recognize that it has a www service running either.
Any Ideas?
