Adrian, A multihomed machine should have only one default gateway one only one network adapter. Just remove the default gateway from the LAN adapter and see if that solves the problems. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Mihnea Mironescu IT & Security Manager Papastratos Romania SRL MihneaM@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx Tel.: +40-21-221-9175 Fax: +40-21-430-4091 ---------------------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Adrian Grancea [mailto:agrancea@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, November 20, 2002 18:58 To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] ISA server drops the connection http://www.ISAserver.org Greetings, Let me give you more info about the settings: - The LAN interface has the following TCP/IP 192.168.15.1 / 24 and default gateway the same. - The WAN interface has the following TCP/IP 66.207.210.90 / 29, default gateway 66.207.210.90, DNS 66.207.192.4 The ISA server is used to connect a web / ftp server to the internet and to receive external e-mails on an internal Exchange server. It's not used as a proxy. The problem is that on average once a day , trying to connect from internet to web / ftp is not working and the e-mails are not received on the Exchange. The test I run is to ping from the ISA server the external dns, 66.207.192.4 and there is no reply. I can ping 66.207.210.89, the gateway interface. The workaround is to do ping 66.207.192.4 -t disconnect the LAN interface patch cord, and watch the screen. In about 5 - 10 seconds there is a reply and can connect the patch cord to the hub again. Everything work fine from that moment. If you have any suggestions I would appreciate them.
