Agreed John, but that was a sample situtation. But my problem is, that I can not use ISA Server box to host any application which need to connect to internet apart from ISA 2000 itself. I can not even use Remote Desktop Client to connect to my hosted server at a ISP (if using the ISA box), where everything works fine if I uninstall ISA. I just changed my DSL connection provider, with the earlier this problem was not there.

That is not the way SMTP works. An e-mail client, such as Outlook express, must send to a SMTP server that is configured to accept for it. While it is possible to configure the virtual SMTP service running on ISA to accept outbound messages, that is not the way it is supposed to be done. You must send outgoing e-mail from the e-mail client to/through the appropriate server.

If you are talking about using ISA as a SMTP relay for an internal server, you have to Publish the SMTP service on the ISA server to the outside world.

Secondly, how could my SMTP relay server can work with IE settings, when working on same machine which is running ISA 2000. Something missing ?

After configuring the DSL Router , I am able to browse the Internet on the box. But, after installing ISA 2000 server on this box, I am unable to browse or make any type of connection to internet on this box, whereas I am able to connect to Internet from any client after pointing to this ISA server. What could be the error on my configuration ? Thanks, Pritam Pal
