Hi Jim, I can't say enough about how much I hate file sharing programs :-() Our son came over to stay for a few days and decided that he wanted to use Kaaza and Morpheus. Our Firewall and packet filter logs for our SOHO usually run about 4-5 MBs/day. I opened things up a bit so that he could use Kaaza and Morpheus, and our firewall and packet filter logs for each of those days were over 40 MB!!! That was just one user. Can you imagine if you had a network of users using that cr*p? It boggles the mind. Thanks for listening :-) Tom www.isaserver.org/shinder -----Original Message----- From: Jim Harrison [mailto:jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, March 16, 2002 1:33 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] Re: Using applications on server http://www.ISAserver.org 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!
