Hi Peter,
 
I have no idea what the UK Academic community was trying to say (which
probably shows my ignorance), but if I have a site that doesn't work
with the Web Proxy service, then I configure the site for Direct Access.

        This is my second post to the list. I do not mind a RTFM
response if you believe my level of competence is so low but I have
attended the Microsoft "Deployment and Manage Microsoft's Internet
Security and Acceleration Server" course and read Zubair Alexander's
book "ISA server 2000" as well as hunt Technet. Please respond.

        I have spent hours on this one.   Two questions, is there a good
resource for understanding the WebProxy logs. The patterns between a
working and non working website are clear.

        Secondly, since moving to ISA a number of Websites which we are
required to 
        log into e.g. Ecctis, forever return the login box. Others are
OK. 

        Learn direct utilises Macromedia Authorware to enable students
to update records utilising the "Electronic Paper" application on the
web. This fails also as records do not get updated.

        We utilise the Webproxy client rather than firewall as Surf
Control reports 
        need a username, but I am not certain this is the issue anyway.
Learn direct 
        recommend using rtsp but this is only streaming media and is not
an issue 
        here.We swapped from Microsoft Proxy 2.0 to Microsoft Internet
and Acceleration 
        Server (ISA) just after XMAS. Microsoft Proxy 2.0 did not give
the same issues. 

         All of our IE5 clients access the web using WebProxy service. 
          
         We have an access policy which allows the following protocols
HTTP and 
         HTTPS 
          
        No destination sets are in place, we utilise Surf Control to
limit access 
         to undesirable sites. 
          
        All HTTP requests are listened to utilising TCP Port 8080 for
all IP 
         addresses. 
          

        My only response when I asked the UK academic community was as
follows. 

        >Peter 
          
        >We use ISA and Surfcontrol 
        >with port 80 mapped to 8080 
          
        >the problems that the site being hit replies on a different
port number which is not mapped 
        >and as such the rule says you are not allowed by ISA to access
this unless you have the appropriate authority 
        >normal an admin authority 
          
        >If you manager to get the NON STANDARD ports that these folks
are using please share the info 
        >You may also have the problem if you use Microsoft's media
player version 9 
        >(left hand right hand) 

        I did stress that 99% of our network traffic is fine, we utilise
both Web and Server publishing rules as well, so I cannot understand
this response!.

        Many Regards
