Hi All,

I'm having a torrid time trying to set up my firewall.  This is the
situation - I'm behing a router but I have my ISA Server internal IP
address set as the default IP address so right now it is completely open
to the world.  I'm trying all that I can to close port but unable to do so
- when I set the filters up to block a particular port and them run a port
scanner the port is still open.  Is there a way to block these ports
without installing yet another Firewall software?

I tried using the "Secure Your ISA Server Computer" Wizard but to no avail
- no matter which option I use it comes back with this error message :-
"The system security configuration application failed.  For more
information view the log file, Securwiz.log, located in the ISA Server
installation folder."  below is where the errors are located in the
registry from the log file
