You need to understand your and IM requirements, ISA capabilities and the 
realities of network protocols.
What you've described so far isn't feasible.
If you want IM to use the web proxy, then you can't have the VOIP features of 
IM.
If you install ISA in Firewall or Integrated mode on a single-NIC machine, 
you're going to be severely disappointed.
If you don't want to install the Firewall client on the internal hosts, even if 
ISA is operating in Firewall or Integrated mode on a 
properly-configured machine, you can't use the extended features of IM.

Thanks for the reply, so that means installin Firewall Client is the only
whay to hookup MSN Messenger?
There should be some other work around too..

Why not install the firewall client in an administrative share mode. And
then if using AD you could assign it to the groups that need to download it
and provide that feature in that way.  And having the install in the start
up script on a one time basis would also work. Easier on the admins that
way.

Thank you,

Joseph

We have a large network and we have to install that on each machine, instead
we prefer direct web proxy...and so we have avoided firewall cleint.. one
more question, i am tyring to run MSNIM.zip on ISA cached mode, but it
fails?

Thanks,
