ISA Server 2004 does not listen for Web proxy requests after you enable a network adaptor or remove an IP address

If one of the following conditions is true, Internet Security and Acceleration (ISA) Server may not listen for Web proxy requests on the network adaptor or IP address:

• You add or enable a network adaptor in ISA Server 2004 configuration settings.
• You remove an IP address from a network adaptor and then add the same IP address again.
• You find that ISA event ID 14148 is logged with an error code 0x80072740 in the event log. This event indicates that ISA cannot bind its socket to the Listing IP and Port because there may be another service that is already using this port.
• After you experience a network disconnect on ISA, you cannot connect to the ISA listeners. For example, Web proxy requests fail.

To work around this issue, restart the Microsoft Firewall service after you modify the network adaptor or IP address. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, point to All Programs, point to Administrative Tools, and then click Services.
2. In the list of services, right-click Microsoft Firewall, and then click Restart.
