[isalist] RE: Isa2k4 and IPSec VPN to Cisco Routerok guys i thought i cracked 
it but now i'm slightly confused since reading Clints 'Network behind a 
network' document and also visited the discussion.

In the document it states :-

'The .10, .20 and .30 subnets are also accessible to ISA Server through 
internal routers. The Windows administrator would go into either the command 
prompt and use the ROUTE command to add routes to the .10, .20, and .30 subnets 
through their respective router, or create the routes through Routing and 
Remote Access Service (RRAS). This would also generate the error, but this time 
the error message would include the .10, .20 and .30 subnets. This is caused by 
the same problem - Windows associates those subnets with the 192.168.0.1 
interface, but ISA checks the configuration of the Internal network and "sees" 
that these address ranges are not included in the properties of the Network.

An ISA Server administrator would, logically, think that they need to define a 
"Network" that contains these addresses - one for the .10, .20 and .30 subnets. 
Unfortunately, this would not resolve the error. Earlier, we stated that "When 
you provide addresses in the properties of a "Network", ISA looks through all 
of the adapters on the system and tries to find an adapter that has an IP 
address in that range - once it finds one, it associates the "Network" with 
that adapter." If the ISA Server administrator created "Networks" for the .10, 
.20 and .30 subnets, ISA Server would look through the list of adapters in the 
system and try to find an adapter that has an address assigned to these 
subnets. Since, in our configuration, ISA Server has no such network adapters 
(we only have a single Internal adapter and External adapter), ISA assumes the 
"Network" the administrator is trying to configure is associated with an 
interface that is physically disconnected or disabled and sets the "Network" to 
a disconnected state.

Additional Information : The ISA Server Help file (under Microsoft ISA Server 
-> Multi-Networking -> Multi-Networking Architecture) provides a good 
definition of a "Network".
ISA Server groups IP addresses into sets, called networks. A network is used by 
ISA Server to describe addresses of hosts that can exchange traffic without 
passing through ISA Server.

That last sentence is critical to understanding how ISA views the network - 
since the .0, .10, .20 and .30 subnets can communicate among themselves without 
"traversing" ISA Server, they should all be considered a part of the same 
network.

OK - that makes sense - how do I control access to the .10, .20 and .30 subnets 
then?

Once all of these address ranges are included in the Network, you should go 
into the Firewall Policy -> Toolbox -> Network Objects and create new "Subnets" 
for the .0, .10, .20 and .30 subnets and then create Firewall Policy Access 
Rules that apply to the Subnets instead of the "Network".'

Can i now presume that i add my physically connected subnet to the 'Internal' 
network as well as my other subnets to the 'Internal' network, but i also 
create Subnet Objects for my other subnets and modify the Firewall Policy 
Access Rules to reflect these changes ?

Sorry for being a dumb a$$

  "finish"

  ...  isn't it appropriate that I didn't "finish" the sentence, either?

  I hear ya, but it still doesn't change the basic premise of the article.

  It's only intended to "fire up a synapse or two", not cover all possible 
incarnations.

  I'd never that article...

  :-)
