You might be correct regarding the network element. I'm going to look into that right now. ISA isn't sitting on the workstation. Sorry for not being clear. Our workstations are configured as web proxy clients. With the ISA 2004 server specified, users cannot connect to their individual loopback address. When they are configured for ISA 2000 or if the settings are unchecked they can connect to 127.0.0.1. _______________________________________________ Eric Poole, CISSP Senior Information Security Analyst Community Medical Centers <http://communitymedical.org/> 1140 "T" Street, Fresno, California 93721 559-459-6784 (phone) 559-459-2045 (fax) ________________________________ From: Young, Gerald G [mailto:Gerald.Young@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, January 13, 2006 10:30 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: ISA 2004 blocking XP local loopback http://www.ISAserver.org Is ISA sitting on the XP workstation? Since 127.0.0.1 only ever refers to itself (every box has a 127.0.0.1 IP bound to its NIC), if ISA is on a different box than the XP workstation, something else is occurring that is local to the ISA box. Check your network elements in ISA and see what network element 127.0.0.1 falls into. My guess is that you don't have a rule allowing the network element to talk to itself. Cordially yours, Jerry G.

Why would ISA 2004 block a workstation from getting to 127.0.0.1? Same workstation going through ISA 2000 is able to access it's local loopback. Someone enlighten me please! _______________________________________________ Eric Poole, CISSP Senior Information Security Analyst Community Medical Centers <http://communitymedical.org/> 1140 "T" Street, Fresno, California 93721 559-459-6784 (phone) 559-459-2045 (fax) ------------------------------------------------------- WARNING/CONFIDENTIAL: ------------------------------------------------------- This email, including attachments, may contain information that is privileged, confidential, and/or exempt from disclosure under applicable law (including, but not limited to, protected health information).
