Certain non-MS clients were never able to connect consistently to our MS-FTP (IIS 5) server when it was behind ISA 2000. (I tried all the usual tricks) My final resolution was to hook it up 'hot' after applying MS's lockdown tool. And keeping all patches up to date of course. Question: I will be going to ISA 2004 in the not too distant future. Has anyone else been through these same issues and does ISA 2004 have a better answer? Thanks -- G. Waleed Kavalec
