Hi Nigel,

Protocol Rules have *no* effect on routing packets between the network
and the pubic DMZ segment.

HTH,

I found that even when I had a packer filter defined all I could do was
ping from PC (see below) which is normal due to the way ICMP is allowed
when IP routing is enabled, so had to define a protocol filter to get
web access. 

I then DISabled the Packet filter and to my surprise discovered that ISA
does NOT block outward access from PC - all that is needed is a Protocol
filter. 

This is contrary to doco I've read (in Tom's book) that says you should
ONLY need a packet filter when using a perimeter network DMZ design like
mine below.
Am I missing something here or is this normal behaviour?
