Keith,
The remote admin port has always been 444
the only difference is that through various updates and requests the
secure checkbox was enabled by default causing the pages to be
redirected to https:// with port 81 I believe.
So if you uncheck the secure box than you should just use port 444 as
the admserver is running at that port.
using port 80 for the admin interface has never been possible I believe.
Correct me if wrong. If not: I've learned something from this list <G>
