I've come to the conclusion that the protocol rules in ISA only work if the 
machine is running the firewall client, and probably many of you knew that 
already if it is true. My testing revealed if i create a destination set for my 
internal network. Then make a protocol rule to allow all ports and have the 
firewall client enabled, then i can connect out over the internet to a sql 
server i'm needing to contact. If i disable the firewall client then I cannot 
connect to it anymore. Here lies my problem, I do alot of VPN'ing to client 
networks, and upon doing so, I am not able to pcAnywhere or Remote Desktop into 
any of their machines including the server i just VPN'ed into. Any ideas? How 
can i unlock everything from the inside for an internal client without having 
to install the firewall client?
