SYMPTOMS
When you assign a Web site whose Uniform Resource Locator (URL) contains a port number to a security zone in Microsoft Internet Explorer or in Windows Internet Explorer, you may find that the port number is missing from the URL the next time that you view the Web sites list for that zone.

For example, if you type http:// :8080 in the Add this Web site to the zone box of the Restricted sites dialog box, click Add, and then click OK to add it to the Restricted sites zone, the URL is displayed as http://  in the Web sites list the next time that you open the Restricted sites dialog box.



CAUSE
This behavior can occur when you assign a Web site whose URL contains a port number to the Local intranet, Trusted sites, or Restricted sites zones. Internet Explorer removes the port number from the Web site's URL after the Web site is added to the security zone.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.



MORE INFORMATION
To assign a Web site to a security zone in Internet Explorer, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
 * 2) Click the Security tab.
 * 3) Under Select a Web content zone to specify its security settings, click one of the following security zones: Local intranet, Trusted sites, or Restricted sites.
 * 4) Click Sites.
 * 5) If you selected Local intranet in step 3, click Advanced. If you selected Trusted sites or Restricted sites, go to step 6.
 * 6) Under Add this Web site to the zone, type the URL for the Web site that you want to add, click Add, click OK, and then click OK again.

NOTE: You cannot add Web sites to the Internet zone, which includes everything that does not belong to any other zone and is not on your local computer.

For more information about security zones, see Internet Explorer Help. On the Help menu, click Contents and Index, click the Index tab, type security zones, and then click Display. Click any of the topics that appear in the list, and then click Display again to view the topic.
