Hi Faizal khan You can bypass ISA with the intranet, just give your ISA IP address in bypass server for local addresses as example your ISA IP address is 10.10.10.1 if you give this setting in internet explorer, click on tools, then Internet options, then select connections, in this select LAN Setting, you see below bypass server for local address option box select that box and click on Advance and there you find below " do not use proxy server for address beginning with below this u write ISA server IP address as example given is 10.10.10.1 instead of 1 in last you put * sign this will be ok and with semi column give ISA server name and then *.*.*.* for example (isa*.*.*.*) , This setting has to be given in the intranet users who are accessing database not on ISA server. hope you understood it enjoy bye Mohammed Irfanullah Network Administrator. -----Original Message----- From: Faizal Khan [mailto:mis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, April 15, 2003 12:52 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Bypass ISA with Intranet http://www.ISAserver.org Edward, You are correct now that I am thinking about it..Any requests made will definitely be dealt with by ISA since they reside on the same machine..I am using SQL 2000 w/sp 3. Unfortunately it isn't possible to host it as yet on another server, I am looking to do this as soon as possible. Thanks for your advice! But I know there was a way to by pass ISA with the Intranet, I can't remember how.
