Using any Winsock application on the ISA itself is fraught with issues, because many of them use complex protocols and work best when the FW client is installed on their host. Since you can't install the FW client on the ISA (actually, you can; it's just a really bad idea), that limits you to packet filters for those apps. WMP uses TCP-1755 and UDP-1024-5000 for MMS protocol, so that makes for a screaming buttload of PF to create. ISA wasn't designed to operate in the contexts of a workstation, so there's little support for doing that.

I should point out that I am fully aware of making sure that shared directories only contain files I want other people to see. I also normally clean all files out of my shared directory at regular periods. I'd also like to be able to run media player on my server so I can use it to listen to internet radio stations - however, I can't - it won't connect. Anyone have any ideas ?
