The problem is this time about packet forwarding/routing problem: 1) If I try to connect to front-end Exchange over POP3/IMAP4 or SMTP from the external Outlook/Outlook Express clients, the connection is failed on ISA server. ISA server accept packets first on the external NIC. Then it does not forward (?) the packets to internal front-end Exchange. ISA logfile tells failed connection. The POP3/IMAP4/SMTP packets don't reach to front-end server. 2)I can connect to front-end Exchange directly from ISA server by using POP3/IMAP4 or SMTP over Outlook Express client. Is it a forwarding problem from external NIC of ISA to internal network? Perhaps my configuration is a problem? I created the rules and publishing on ISA for POP3/IMAP4/SMTP. I list you the configuration in my network: My network: Internet > NetscreenFW1 > ISA 2004 > NetscreenFW2 > Internal network with Windows 2003 AD + Exchange 2003 SP1 FE/BE ISA-Server: External IP: 213.183.4.125 Internal address: 10.10.4.254 HOSTS file on ISA has: 10.10.4.1 owa.mydomain.com #That is the IP address of front-end Exchange. NetscreenFW2: The networking bettween ISA 2004 (internal interface) and NetscreenFW2 is transparent. External DNS: A record: 213.183.4.125 exchange.mydomain.com Front-end Exchange: IP address: 10.10.4.1 Back-end Exchange: IP address: 10.10.4.2 Global Catalog/DC/DNS: IP address: 10.10.4.3 Internal DNS: A records: 10.10.4.1 fe.mydomain.com #Front-end 10.10.4.1 owa.mydomain.com 10.10.4.2 be.mydomain.com #Back-end with mailboxes 10.10.4.3 gc.mydomain.com #Global Catalog MX record: 10.10.4.1 fe.mydomain.com Outlook client profile: POP3 server: exchange.mydomain.com SMTP server: exchange.mydomain.com IMAP4 server: exchange.mydomain.com Best Regards Mustafa ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: World of Windows Networking: http://www.windowsnetworking.com Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: tshinder@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe visit http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist Report abuse to listadmin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
