Jim, Tom, Steve, My configurations allow me to dial in using RAS connection, active directory validates the user authentication, ISA is used to managed access all external access, not internal. The machines used to dial in is a SNAT client with gateway being the Server IP. The gateway is hard-coded into the dialup connectoids to make it a SNAT client. It works Jim, I have done it, however when it comes to receiving mails via pop3 I am having problems, because my mail can neither send or receive emails via pop3. If I hard-code my smtp settings to my COMPUTER NAME I can send mails ok but cannot receive. I have not use a FWCient, I will try that one out.... Steve, you said you have done this is there any particular settings you have enabled?
