Ok some more info.

 

I have checked the FTP filter and the read-only is not tagged

I have run ethereal on the external interfaces of the working and
non-working ISA servers and performed the same FTP command from the same
workstation going to both firewalls.

 

The working firewall displays everything that you would expect it to
display when it's working

The non-working firewall displays nothing, that's correct it doesn't see
any traffic on the external interface at all.

 

I reran ethereal on the internal interface on the non-working firewall
this time and all it showed me was 5 communications to port 1745. If I
disable the firewall client and run a test again I see 3 lines detecting
FTP traffic.

 

Every time on the non-working firewall FTP receives a time out request.

 

Please help, I'm going nuts here !!!

Subject: [isalist] Outbound FTP Question

 

http://www.ISAserver.org



I know before you all say it, I've read Stefaan's article about FTP on
the ISAServer.org site, but my query is slightly different.

Ok, this could get a little confusing so please bear with me:

Workstation subnet = 192.168.5.0

Firewall A subnet = 192.168.2.0

Firewall B subnet = 192.168.1.0

Basically we have three sites and all sites are connected via leased
lines or line of sight technology.

Ok, I've got two ISA 2004 servers, one running with Win 2003 (Firewall
A) and the other running with Win 2000 (Firewall B). Both servers are
working fine apart from this Outbound FTP problem.

I have configure a workstation as a firewall client and when I point to
Firewall A I cannot FTP to an external site using a simple FTP from the
command prompt and I get the following message - 

If I configure the workstation firewall client to point to Firewall B,
the FTP from a command prompt works without a problem

Both firewalls have exactly the same firewall policy give or take
Firewall A has a few extra publishing rules. I have double checked all
this (mind you this was very late at night, so could have missed
something) but I cannot understand why FTP does not work through
Firewall A

Can anyone give me any pointers of where to start to look please?
