See the previous post titled "black ice vs. sygate." I don't believe you
need to open port 80 for blackice, and I think this could possibly be the
problem. I definitely recommend installing URLscan which comes with the
free IISlockdown tool from www.microsoft.com/security [in addition to BID].
[also check out and follow the securing windows and IIS checklists there if
you haven't already].
