As John pointed out, the DBAdmin is a serious contender for this year's 1D10T award. You need to discuss the appropriate protocols / ports that need to be opened and limit them to ONLY those protocols / ports. If he's not wiling to do this, you can start sniffing the wire between the DB server and clients as they go about their work to see what protocols / ports are actually in use. ------------------------------------------------------- Jim Harrison MCP(NT4, W2K), A+, Network+, PCG http://isaserver.org/Jim_Harrison/ http://isatools.org Read the help / books / articles! ------------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Jon Bialy [mailto:jbialy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Monday, November 15, 2004 08:17 To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] Open firewall to all traffic from a IP address http://www.ISAserver.org I am not sure how to do this. If anyone can help me out I would appreciate it. We have a program which requires a number of ports be open to access the database and the administrator to the database we are trying to access recommended we just open all traffic to the specified IP address.
