Hi Tim,

You're not nuts. I've heard this one before. But being even more aged as
you, I can't recall if there was a fix, or what the issue was. PMTU
might be an issued, but I'm not sure.

Greetings all.  Let me start by saying "Arrg."

I would like to submit an issue I am having to the group for a sanity 
check.  I've done about a million point-to-point VPN setups with ISA on 
Wink2 without issues.  However, in a new 2003 Server (with all SP's for
the 
OS and ISA) install, setting up point-to-point (remote/local) ISA VPN 
servers has been an issue.

Basically, the VPN's connect just fine; clients on both sides can ping, 
telnet to any given port, etc, but they can't authenticate to resources
on 
either side.  What is interesting is that the ISA/VPN boxes themselves 
can.  It's your basic, flat setup:

Network A -> ISA-A ---  Internet --- ISA-B -> Network B

 From ISA-A, I can immediately pull up resources on ISA-B, and any 
resources on Network B.
 From ISA-B, I can immediately pull up resources on ISA-A, and any 
resources on Network A.
Clients on Network A can ping, and as I said, telnet to open ports on 
resources on Network B- same from clients on Network B.

But, if from Network A, you try to pull up something that requires 
authentication (like a share) on Network B, it fails with a "semaphore 
timed out" error after a few minutes.  Same from Network B.

In my ISA logs on both ISA-A and ISA-B, I show all kinds of requests
from 
Network B to Network A and Network A to Network B being filtered out as 
"malformed."  Technet searches did not turn up anything.  WTF?  Have I
gone 
mad?  What am I forgetting?  I have looked and there is no checkbox for 
"randomly malform packets and prevent authentication."

Can anyone help this aged computer dude?
