Hello,

My network is configured like this:  My ISA is Win 2000 adv.server NO A/D
SP2. ISA is SP1.  I have the internet, the firewall and then the local
network (10.10.20.X).  FTP access filter is enable. I put a Protocol rule
with the FTP(protocol defined by ISA) allowing all people in the local
network to access any FTP site.

The Ip packet filtering is enabled but nothing is blocked.

The ISA server got 4 IP on the same network card: 205.237.46.254,
205.237.46.227, 205.237.46.228, 205.237.46.240. (I think that the trouble is
here...)

The default external IP is 205.237.46.254

When a internal client (SecureNAT) is going on a FTP server on the internet
and the PASSIVE TRANSFERS are enabled, they can connect, upload, change
directory, ... but they CAN'T download anything.

I checked the log of ISA and look what it did !!!  It changes IP.  Like if
my ISA, when doing is NAT, wasn't putting the default external IP as source
IP.  So when the FTP server tried to send the file, it blocked...

(FTP TRANSFER ENABLED IN WS_FTP95 LE)

11295   ALLOWED

I tried to remove all IP but not 205.237.46.254 of my server's network card
and it worked perfectly.

Any patchs ?
