Hi guys, I'm getting frustrated with ISA server - only installed this the other week, and have terminal services successfully being published through it, but I'm struggling with Ranger Outpost! I can tracert the address through to the interface of the ISA server, but traffic seems to get lost from there, and can't hit my outpost server. Have registered domain on both internal and external DNS, and ensured that the default gateway on the Outpost server is set to the ISA server. I'm guessing it's my settings on the ISA server, but being new to this beast (no training of course - I'll 'pick it up' - dear god!) I'm floundering a little. Anyone got this scenario working who could give me a helping hand?

Here's one for you boys and girls and please, please help me because it's driving me mad! A long time ago i set up an Access Rule in our ISA server (2004) to ban the "repeat offenders" but allow them access to certain sites listed on our home page. Almost like a small intranet if you like. All was fine untill our website hosts (moonfruit) started running on a Content Delivery Network, i'm not sure if the issue is caused by this as we don't have an exact start date on the problem. Just seemed to start happening at roughly the same time. Now the kids can't see the home page which is flash 10 based it just comes up with a white page and the phishing filter comes up with a cross. I have information from the hosts and have added every possible combination of our URL and the ones they use as well as plenty of flash file extentions; none of that worked. I added myself into the repeat offenders list (admin level of access) and the site still wouldn't show anything. However i then installed IE8 and i was able to see the site but a test with students account came up negative so i changed my membership status so i had the same level as the kids and i couldn't access it either. I'm 99% sure it is to do with the content rather then anything else as other sites in this access rule that rely a lot on flash don't work properly e.g. nike.com and adidas.com. They show the content but links don't work etc. I'm so confused and i feel like i'm chaising my tale. Can anyone point me in a general direction to get me started or if anyone else has had this issue or similar and managed to sort it out then tell me how. Willing to give as much info as it takes to get this bug off my back so ask away. Much love, peace. Snuggle Tech

I created a rule in ISA Server 2004 to allow access to an MSDE instance on a win server 2003. When connecting from the computer that I allowed in the rule, I get the message: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) Does anyone have any suggestions? I have allowed outbound traffic for all users on TCP port 1433 (default Microsoft SQL port) and also allowed access to the port for the named instance. When ISA is not installed, I can access the database from any computer. Please Help!
