Dear list,
A little while ago I posted a message about my difficulty in getting POP3
and SMTP working from my clients after I had installed ISA 2004 on my test
network (home).
I have solved it eventually and let this be a lesson to all. I said that the
only change was upgrading from ISA 2000 (which worked well and I had become
quite adept with). However I had forgotten that at the same time as
upgrading the ISA server I had moved DHCP from that box to another (I am
only allowed a limited number of servers at home - that old Netfinity
masquerading as a coffee table was seen through immediately!). Of course, of
course, of course, it's obvious now but I set up the scope options on the
new DHCP server to give the default gateway and typed 192.169. I only
spotted it by looking really really closely at the ipconfig. This explains
why the others server (with fixed IP) could do things the clients couldn't.
Anyway, everything now works as I want it to. I can control access in a much
more granular way. The miracle thing is that once the Firewall Client or
just the web proxy were configured properly they worked for some access -
even though I had the DG wrong. So far my verdict is a robust, flexible and
powerful product, just don't let it be installed and run by silly operators
(myself included!)
All the best
Andy Fairley
