I did notice I was getting this still in the event logs when I
restarted:

Event Type:     Warning
Event Source:   Microsoft Firewall
Event Category: None
Event ID:       14163
Date:           1/26/2002
Time:           9:32:13 PM
User:           N/A
Computer:       TATLISA2
Description:
Server publishing rule [All TI Multi-Homed Webs] that maps 10.1.2.121:80
TCP to 216.0.216.135:80 for protocol [_http access] failed because the
port on the external interface is being used by another application.
The Firewall service failed to bind socket for the server on the
firewall since another process is using the same port. Check for any
other process using the same port and terminate if necessary.



I was under the impression the error above would not occur once I have
split the listeners. Should I not create a listener for the ip that is
being Web Published? Only the ones being server published?

I am going to redo this tonight and watch the logs closer to see what is
happening.


As always, thanks for the help.

ISA logs everything to three logs:
WEB....log = everything that the WEB proxy service sees
FW....log = everything that the Firewall service sees
IP....log = everything dropped (and optionally allowed) by the packet
filtering service
All three of these are stashed in \Program Files\Microsoft ISA
Server\ISALogs by default

Which Web logs are you referring to?

Aol just says connecting and finally fails.

You're saying that you change the incoming listener to "per IP" and
internal
AOL clients fail to connect?
Kewl!
What's in the WEB logs for that failing session?
What's the exact error the clients display (other than the AOL logo)?

Wow, I finally got around to separating the listeners...

And all hell broke loose. I set up separate listeners for each ip with
integrated security, which was the default for all, and restarted for
good measure, and when it came back up, my aol client could not connect
(why would the listeners affect this????), so I checked from outside and
sure enough none of my sites were working...

So, I switched it back to 'use the same listener', which immediately
allowed me to get back out via aol, but still did not allow me to get in
from outside the network. Once I restarted the ISA box all was good.

This is SUPER frustrating and really indicative of all the issues I have
been having. I am really gunshy to even mess with the config because I
have sites that are being published thru this that must be available.

The listeners were set up as they should be (in my opinion). All I did
was click 'configure them individually', add each of them with
integrated authentication, restart the services, then ultimately the
server to no avail.

Any thoughts are appreciated.

This is a very clean Win2k server (nothing but win2k and ISA), brand new
on a dell powerapp server / appliance.

Thanks!

Hi Bryan,
    Yes, separate usage of TCP-80 on the ISA external interface requires
that you define the incoming web request listener "per IP" and only use
those IPs that are not server publishing TCP-80.
  ..and no, it has no bearing on the outbound traffic.  The Outbound web
requests and Automatic discovery functionality is where that happens.

I hate to bring this up again but I am using this configuration (it
works) but I am not comfortable with it and am going to change it as it
should be.

So, since I am using both web publishing and server publishing (with an
incoming http protocol rule that I created), I should theoretically have
to set my listener  to 'configure listeners individually per ip
address'?

When doing this, I should only have to set up the ips that I am web
publishing and server publishing, correct? This has nothing to do with
any outbound access or any other protocols other than prort 80?

This seems fairly obvious, but I'd like to make certain before moving
forward.

Thanks.

I too am having difficulty with that working as you describe; it breaks
all
the rules that ISA enforces so carefully.
Grab this: http://isaserver.org/images/isainfo.vb_ and send me the

maybe something will pop out at me...

Any last thoughts on this (then I'll give up)?

Everything is working yet I have both server publishing and web
publishing and my listener is configured to 'use the same configuration
for all ip
addresses'.

Is this theoretically not supposed to work? Maybe this is what is giving
me issues when I monkey with it though...

It's just really hard to decide to fix something that isn't broken... at
the moment.

No I have not changed anything in this respect. I had just rolled back
to my last backup.

My listener is configured to 'use the same configuration for all ip

I am just wondering why everything is running ok now? I still have both
web publishing, server publishing, and my listener configured to 'use
the same configuration for
all ip addresses.

I believe that this could cause a problem but I am wondering why it does
not now...

I just hate to change anything until I understand the implications, and
the fact that it works now is a bit confusing to me...

right now.

Should this theoretically not work?

That helps a lot..  really.

Event ID: 14163
The key phrase in the event log is: "The Firewall service failed to bind
socket for the server on the firewall since another process is using the
same port"
This event is generated because the server publishing rule [All TI
Multi-Homed Webs] is using the same port as the incoming web requests
listener (TCP-80).  By default, ISA listens to all external IPs on
TCP-80
for incoming web requests.  If you server-publish TCP-80 on one of those
IPs
without removing that IP from the Incoming Web Requests listener IP
list,
you'll create a resource conflict.

The other two events are probably caused by this one.

This is the event that I guess is the culprit. Most of the stuff I was

This is my server publishing rule that I publish all my webs on (not Web

I do however have a couple of web publishing rules as well for Exchange

No; you may be experiencing one or (heaven forbid) more known issues
with
ISA and publishing.
What event log entries do you see in the system and application event
logs?

http://www.ISAserver.org


I don't know about anyone else here... but our ISAserver seems really
sensitive...

I mean, I feel like I know this thing pretty well... I have built it
twice now... We are using client sets and destination sets I believe the
way I am supposed to, and network is great - As long as I don't molest
it.

It seems like whenever I do anything much to it... it will get
tempermental and my webs will stop being published (I'll start to get
URL denied errors).

I am very careful to know what I have done and how to undo it. But it
seems more often than not I have to either restart it, or restore the
config. It has gotten to the point where I have to adhere by a very
strict SLA policy (of after midnight), which is not a bad rule, but
there are things that I should be able to do (and undo if I have to)
without disturbing normal network traffic.

Perhaps I am screwing something up, but when stopping and restarting the
services doesn't work, but restarting the box does, this gets very
frustrating and makes me think I am not screwing it up many of the
times...

Is this par for the course with ISA in anybody else's experience?

Thanks for any thoughts here...
