The first rule of firewalls is: Don't use them for anything else If you can place your file sharing app inside the firewall, you'll be much happier and safer. Applications running on the ISA need packet filters to access the Internet (unless they understand proxy settings). Protocol rules allow internal hosts to get out, but don't have any bearing on apps running on the ISA itself.

However, none of them seem to be able to connect through the firewall when they can connect through the firewall from the workstations. Any ideas ? -- Best regards, Paul Duthie duthie.paul.j@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Network Manager, Ballarat High School www.ballaraths.vic.edu.au Sent Using The Bat!
