Hi Sachin,

You need to analyze your packet filter logs to determine the nature of
the attacks. The ISA Server in most instances will ignore them. However,
there are a couple of circumstances that can create something that looks
like a DoS. 

RE: all those open ports. How are they opened? There should be NO, NONE,
NOT ANY packet filters opened on the ISA Server to support connections
for internal network clients. Protocol Rules are used to control
outbound access for internal network clients.

HTH,
Tom

Oh I see.

We get scan attacks every minute or so in blocks of 1-2 hours and then
it
stops. It's more in the evening time really. But we do get a lot of port
scan attacks from our own ADSL routers which I don't understand. Any
idea
yourself?

So your saying in reality the ISA Server should be able to protect
itself
from DOS attacks regardless and not fall over? Is there a specific area
I
need to work on because I don't understand why this is happening?

Don't forget I am the on who has these 65,000 ports open for MSN voice
and
video.

Hi Sachin,

What kind of DoS attacks? If the server is "falling over", they must be
with a baseball bat ;-)

Thanks!
Tom
