Hi Darryl, It looks like socket pooling, but its not. Its just that the default setting for the terminal services in Win2k is to listen on all interfaces. For Win2003, most people won't be using terminal services on the firewall (at least I hope not), but they will be use remote desktop services to manage the firewall. That is where the problem lies. There is no information available on how to disable the listening on all interfaces issue with the remote desktop services. There is no management interface that allows you to change the NIC the remote desktop service listens on. Therefore, the solution is to create a packet filter for TCP 3389 inbound and limit access to that packet filter to a select number of IP addresses. Then RDP to an internal host from the firewall machine itself. I'm sure there's a Registry setting somewhere that allows you to bind the remote desktop services RDP server to the internal NIC, I just haven't got around to looking for it yet :-) HTH, Tom Thomas W Shinder www.isaserver.org/shinder ISA Server and Beyond: http://tinyurl.com/1jq1 Configuring ISA Server: http://tinyurl.com/1llp -----Original Message----- From: Darryl Janetzki [mailto:darrylj@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, September 27, 2003 9:50 PM To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Subject: [isalist] RE: Publishing Remote Desktop with W2k3 ISA http://www.ISAserver.org I found that I could not publish an internal TS with this set. I had to set the RDP port to the internal interface on the ISA server using the Terminal services configuration tool. Is this part of the problem with socket pooling? Has any one created a script to remove all protocols from socket pooling on the external interface. Web, FTP and CITRIX rules are OK Thanks Darryl Janetzki
