Hi William,
 
Is the ISA Server registering its virtual address in the DNS?
 
Thanks!
Tom

        Hey Greg, I'm with you on that one, but let me explain my FULL
picture.

         

        I have 3 IP Addresses assigned to my External NIC (x.x.x.153,
x.x.x.155 and x.x.x.156), and by default all my outbound user WEB &
FIREWALL traffic is on the x.x.x.153 address.

         

        Now when my VPN clients try to connect to the x.x.x.153 address,
they can connect fine and the VPN is as solid as can be, but when the
VPN clients are connected all the outbound FIREWALL traffic "fails" over
to the next available IP Address, x.x.x.155. My presumption is that
because the VPN session "secures" the IP Address on which it was
connected and thus doesn't allow any other FIREWALL traffic out. I
haven't yet been able to prove this with WEB traffic as well, but it is
definitely the case with the FIREWALL traffic.

         

        Anyways, the problem with ISA "failing over" to the next IP is
that my external suppliers have firewalled the x.x.x.153 address and NOT
the x.x.x.155 address. So without getting them to adjust their pool of
allowed addresses from me, I have now dedicated the x.x.x.156 address to
VPN traffic only, but I cannot seem to get my clients to connect to this
new IP Address.

         

        If someone has any more info as to why an inbound VPN connection
forces ISA to use a different outbound IP I'm sure it would also explain
a lot.

         

        Cheers

        William R.

        Don't really see the point. In theory the connection and
password policy should be secure enough to handle anything anyway. The
only reason I would change the ip is if I was doing some major network
restructuring. But that's my opinion.

        Hi there

         

        Is there any opinion out there regarding the changing of the VPN
Address used by the clients?

         

        Cheers

        William R.

        http://www.ISAserver.org

        Hi there

         

        My ISA Server has 3 external IP Addresses bound to the external
interface of my ISA Server. It has now become time for me to change the
IP Address on which my VPN clients connect to my server.

         

        To do this I simply modified the 2 default packet filters:

        1)       Allow PPTP protocol packets (client) - PPTP Call

        2)       Allow PPTP protocol packets (server) - PPTP Receive

         

        And changed the Local IP Address to the new external IP Address.

         

        This is obviously not all that needs to be done because my VPN
still doesn't work to this new address. Would someone know if there is
any config change required on RRAS in order to permit VPN access via
this new IP Address?

         

        Cheers

        William R.
