OK, I <know> there is someone out there who can give me an answer on this. Please please pretty please, can someone just point me in the right direction.... Here is my original mail: Would anyone perhaps know if it is at all possible to increase the timeout values for ISA' state table? I kno wthat I can manage the timeouts for "Outgoing WEB Requests", but I need to see if I can increase the timeout for UDP etc as I believe that my line is so congested that I may be receiving a lot of Intrusion Detection alerts as a result of timed-out connections.
