Create an "allow all both" packet filter.
This is the equivalent of removing ISA from your server.

Use
The 
Logs
..they'll tell you what the application is trying to use.
Guessing only leaves you guessing.

Thanks Jim :)
 
I am going to run the eithereal and check the logs.  However, if you can
clear this for me.  Does creating a packet filter with  'ANY' protocol,
'BOTH' directions, 'ALL' local ports and 'ALL' remote ports work?  If it
does work, it would be similar to disabling the packet filtering feature
right?  
 
The weird thing is the application works fine if the traffic goes
through the WAN and hits the target server.   But if I take the ISA and
put it in a private network where a router to router VPN tunnel connects
the target server, the app has problem.  If remove the packet filter,
everything seems to work fine.  BTW, the app connects to a SQL server on
a remote network. 

Thanks

        Use the logs, Luke.

         

        ISA logs all the traffic it sees.

        You can read through the packet filter logs to see what traffic
the application is trying to send that gets blocked.

        http://www.ISAserver.org 

        I have a window 2000/ISA 2000.  There is an application that has
to communicate with a server in another location via WAN.  The only way
the app seem to communicate with the server is if I disable the IP
packet filtering feature in ISA (no, I didn't disable it in the
production server). I am working on the test ISA server.  

         

        I even created a packet filter that allows traffic both ways for
all protocols, all port and all external interface.  Still the app can't
communicate.  As soon as I disable the packet filtering by selecting the
properties for the IP Packet Filters node, it has no trouble at all
communicating with the server via WAN.  Looked at the log but haven't
seen any difference with or without ip packet filtering.

         

        I am at loss.  I really appreciate it if someone can  help me on
this.

         

        Thanks

        ts
