Two things are missing from this problem description:

1.       ISA configuration (ISAInfo is the simplest way)

2.       WPAD contents

 

The question of WPAD-related behavior hints at a problem in the LAT or
Outgoing listener settings.

You can acquire a copy of the wpad script by entering
"http://IsaOutgoingListenerIP:ListenerPort/wpad.dat"; in the browser
address bar and saving it to the desktop when promoted.

Subject: [isalist] Auto detect proxy & site content rule problem

 

Hi,

There is a 'Join a Meeting' button on the http://www.gotomeeting.com
website. 

When we hard code our proxy server into our browser, either IE7 or IE6
all with latest patches, we can download the software and are prompted
with a box to provide the meeting ID.

If we have our browser set to 'Automatically detect settings' we can
bring up the first page (www.gotomeeting.com) without an issue but when
we click on the 'Join a Meeting' button we get an 'Internet Explorer
cannot display the webpage' message and any webpages we try to access
after this fail,

Looking in the ISA Logs it shows I fail to connect to,
http://col.gotomeeting.com, and it is being blocked by a Site and
Content Rule that uses the 'Banned Advertisement Sites Starter Pack
(2238 sites)
<http://www.isaserver.bm/isa_files/isa2k_banned_advertisement_sites.zip>
' from Steve's website. We do have redirection set for this rule but the
page isn't redirected. And I have searched the DS but I can't find an
entry that would be blocking.

So I did some more testing. If I disable the Site and Content rule which
contains the DS and have 'Automatically detect settings' enabled I can
access the site without a problem and with the Site and Content Rule
enabled and a hard coded proxy address I can still access the website.
But with the Site/Content Rule enabled and 'Auto detect settings' in IE
I can't get access.

Running WinXP SP2 with all latest patches. ISA Server 2000 running on
Windows 2000 also with all latest patches.

I hope the above makes sense.

Thanks
