cool, and thank you, so if I run the ISA Mail Wizard, does it give me the option to specify if E2K is one the same box or not? I am doing nothing on this until after superbowl, so I have loads of LAB time on my hands anyways. Any insights will be a huge help.

By default, ISA install in "closed door" mode. Nothing comes or goes that you don't either explicitly or implicitly allow.
