Hi Marvin, Just put a crummy 30 dollar Dlink DSL NAT device in front of the ISA firewall. That's what I do. HTH, Tom www.isaserver.org/shinder Get the book! Tom and Deb Shinder's Configuring ISA Server 2004 http://tinyurl.com/3xqb7 MVP -- ISA Firewalls -----Original Message----- From: Marvin Cummings [mailto:MarvinC@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, October 08, 2004 10:47 AM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] Linksys in front of ISA... http://www.ISAserver.org Double-post. Need some help getting ISA to work on a DSL connection. The only way I seem to be able to get to the Internet is if I put my linksys in front of the ISA server and configure the external NIC to use the IP of the linksys as its gateway. I also had to provide it with a static internal IP. I'm thinking this will come back to haunt me once I begin publishing servers and services. I've read the articles on configuring DSL, the network interfaces, and ISA to support PPOE and have tried everything with no success. If I don't use the linksys I'm not able to access the Internet on any of my secureNAT clients. I seem to recall there being some talk on this subject and wonder if anyone can advise on the pros and cons of this type of setup, one that uses a linksys in front of the firewall. I'm thinking I'd be better of going with a hardware solutions or a linux firewall solution. Any responses are appreciated.
