Nope, didn't miss that. The whole thread evolved due to a question that if you specify a server on the command-line while installing, is that not the same as configuring the FWC statically? I "don't want" it to be set statically, I "want" the FWC to autodetect, and self-disable if necessary. So, why does it self-disable for Tom if he statically configures a server? I understand what you're saying, but Tom says his experience tells a different story. I guess it's a moot point, I have mine setup for automatic detection, so it won't affect me. Just curiosity I guess. -----Original Message----- From: Jim Harrison [mailto:Jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, March 02, 2005 15:18 To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: ISA Server 2004 Standard Edition SP1 http://www.ISAserver.org Hi Dan, Did you miss the "it depends" part? If you configure the FWC statically, it will block. If you have it configured "automatically", it will self-disable. The same is true for IE - auto-detection is the on ly way you can reliably move between ISA- and non-ISA-served networks.
