This is definitely a bug. It has to do with Data controls that don't render an ID for the parent container. The Repeater and ListView controls fall into this category.

Looking at the source code, it looks like an attempt is made to find the element in the dom tree or its parent container element or if was registered as an async postback control. If these fail, a full postback occurs.

You might want to post this on connect.microsoft.com

Thanks for the workaround.

Not too sure about the garage analogy.. ie is more like a car with only 3 wheels.

Surely something funny from the developers, but a developer that does things like this doesn't have to apply for a job where i work.

In web application world you have to support everything and don't whine when a user uses IE, Firefox,opera or even Safari support all... Every browser has it's ++ and --. It's terrible but that's how it is, a garage is also not suitable for every car, some are longer and bigger, will you tell the people then to buy a VW when they have a Hummer, no you change the garage to support their car.

An easier way to circumvent this is to log on to one of your available servers and use the Services MMC to remotely disable the firewall service.

Given that this is a domain, you really should have windows firewall disabled via GP, unless you just really like having extraneous windows services running in the bg ;-).

Does documenting a stupid feature really well make it any less stupid?

This was really well documented in the changes in sp2 so you could had known it before you upgraded...
