Hi Frederic, How do you define "down"? I believe the gateway has to be unresponsive, rather than the Internet connection being unavailable. But it's a good question, I'm not sure regarding the details of how the dead GW is detected. I'll have to check TechNet and find out. Thanks!

I have a problem not per say related to ISA but, since it is routing related, I feel this is a good place to ask. On my LAN, I have two subnets separated by two routers. One is ISA and it is also the GW to the Internet and the other is hardware and is the primary router between the LANs On the workstations, I have a default gateway pointing to ISA and two GW for the other LAN (one being ISA and the other the hardware router). The routing table looks like this: ISA: 192.168.23.254 Hardware router: 192.168.23.253 Network address Subnet Mask Gateway Interface Metric 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.23.254 192.168.23.100 1 127.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 1 192.168.23.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.23.100 192.168.23.100 1 192.168.23.100 255.255.255.255 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 1 192.168.23.255 255.255.255.255 192.168.23.100 192.168.23.100 1 192.168.24.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.23.253 192.168.23.100 1 192.168.24.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.23.254 192.168.23.100 2 224.0.0.0 224.0.0.0 192.168.23.100 192.168.23.100 1 255.255.255.255 255.255.255.255 192.168.23.100 192.168.23.100 1 Default gateway: 192.168.23.254 ======================================================================== === Persistent routes: Network address Subnet Mask Gateway Metric 192.168.24.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.23.253 1 192.168.24.0 255.255.255.0 192.168.23.254 2 My problem is that the workstations do not detect if one of the GW is down. The following parameters are properly set in the registry under HKLM\system\CurrentControlSet\Services\TCPIP\parameters : - EnableDeadGWDetect = 1 - DeadGWDetectDefault = 1 Thanks for any help :-) Fred ______________________________ Frederic Giroux LAN Administrator CyberCap fgiroux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://www.cybercap.qc.ca 33 Prince St. Suite 301 Montreal, Qc H3C 2M7 (514) 861-7700 ext. 303 Fax : (514) 861-7700 ------------------------------------------------------ List Archives: http://www.webelists.com/cgi/lyris.pl?enter=isalist ISA Server Newsletter: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/newsletter.asp ISA Server FAQ: http://www.isaserver.org/pages/larticle.asp?type=FAQ ------------------------------------------------------ Other Internet Software Marketing Sites: Leading Network Software Directory: http://www.serverfiles.com No.1 Exchange Server Resource Site: http://www.msexchange.org Windows Security Resource Site: http://www.windowsecurity.com/ Network Security Library: http://www.secinf.net/ Windows 2000/NT Fax Solutions: http://www.ntfaxfaq.com ------------------------------------------------------ You are currently subscribed to this ISAserver.org Discussion List as: tshinder@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send a blank email to $subst('Email.Unsub')
