  2. Click Start, click All Programs, click Windows Essential Business Server, and then click Windows Essential Business Server Administration Console.

  3. Click the Security tab, click Network firewall, and then in the tasks pane, click Start Forefront Threat Management Gateway console.

  4. In the console tree, click Firewall Policy.

  5. Under All Firewall Policy, right-click the Web publishing rule that you want to modify, and then click Configure HTTP.
