Okay you open ISA 2004 Server, click on the task pane on the right hand side, click on Protocol, click new and protocol, then give it a name, then assign the ports you need to open. In my case I was told TCP / Inbound but as I found out from testing it that it should be Outbound otherwise the computer on the LAN doesn't get out which it's suppose do it. If I need to add the Inbound can I a) add the inbound ports to the secondary connection or b) do I have to start over with creating a new protocol adding the Inbound ports to it?

Whether you use secondary protocols depends on whether or not more than one protocol is used. The word "protocol" is a bit vague in your context. ------------------------------------------------------- Jim Harrison MCP(NT4, W2K), A+, Network+, PCG http://isaserver.org/Jim_Harrison/ http://isatools.org Read the help / books / articles! ------------------------------------------------------- -----Original Message----- From: Andrew English [mailto:andrew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Wednesday, April 06, 2005 11:25 To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Protocol question http://www.ISAserver.org I have been told by the company who uses the IPs I need to setup to use TCP/Inbound, however I when setup the protocol and monitor it nothing goes out until I change the Inbound to Outbound. So my question still stands do I need to create a new protocol or can I add the inbound to the secondary connections? Andrew
