        I think you meant to respond in the "Intra-array" thread?

        Still, he hasn't admitted anything yet - we had to employ some
pulmonary techniques before any real information appeared.

        I'll be interested to see if he follows David's instructions,
which seem to address the core of this issue.

        BTW -- Just to make it clear, I was right from the beginning. I
said this was a "hork mode" issue and Bogdan came clean yesterday and
admitted to hoke mode, in spite of how embarassing that must have been.

rule problem

                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.

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
