If you want to publish the HTTP service in IIS which was installed on the same machine as ISA, you are require to disable socket pooling on it. Otherise, HTTP service will bind itself to all network interfaces which prevent ISA to listen for incoming request.

1. Install the Support Tools form the W2K3 Server installation disc. It was located in the SUPPORT\TOOLS folder.
2. Run "net stop http /y"
3. Run "net stop w3proxy" if you enabled the web proxy service.
4. Go to the Support Tools folder and Run "httpcfg delete iplisten -i 0.0.0.0"
5. Run "httpcfg set iplisten -i 192.168.8.8" where "192.168.8.8" is the IP of which HTTP service should be listen to.
6. Run "net start http"
7. Run "net start w3svc"
8. Run "net start w3proxy"

You can run "httpcfg query iplisten" to check which IP does the HTTP service is currently listening to.
You can also run "netstat -na | more" to check the active listening ports.

If you want to stop socket pooling on FTP service, you can do this:

1. cd c:\Inetpub\AdminScripts
2. net stop msftpsvc
3. cscript adsutil.vbs set msftpsvc/disablesocketpooling true
4. net start msftpsvc

If you want to stop socket pooling on SMTP service, you can do this:

1. cd c:\Inetpub\AdminScripts
2. net stop smtpsvc
3. cscript adsutil.vbs set smtpsvc/disablesocketpooling true
4. net start smtpsvc

You can also disable socket pooling for POP3 and IMAP4 services by changing the command:
cscript adsutil.vbs set imap4svc/disablesocketpooling true
cscript adsutil.vbs set pop3svc/disablesocketpooling true
