Firewall Wizards: PIX and IIS issue

Hi!

I have a PIX connected to a switch on internal network and therein resides
my Microsoft IIS box. I can access ftp, ping etc from outside through
conduit and/or access lists but I cannot access http port from outside ?
Tried all clears - conduit, xlate, arp etc without any effect. Finally
thought that its nothing to do with the poor PIX and worked on the web
server. Replaced the IIS box with Linux and lo! it works fine.. I mean all
access lists and/or conduits for http, ftp, ping work fine. Now why doesn't
the same work with Microsoft IIS? The same Microsoft IIS works great with
all ports accessible on the internal network but inbound access for http
port from across the firewall through the outside interface is not working.
Any thoughts as to what's the issue? Is there a bug here?

Will virtual + aaa combo help here ?

BTW: PIX version 6.1(4) and IIS version 5.0+

Thanks in advance,
Shahed.
