I have ISA Server installed in Firewall-Only mode and am running SecureNAT. My only purpose is to provide Internet filtering, so I have my IP filtering policies completely open. That is, all clients are able to communicate out through any port and external machines are able to access all ports on ISA Server. The reason for using SecureNAT is simply that I don't want to have to configure a Web Proxy on each machine. Plus, there's no way for my users to bypass SecureNAT as they could with Web Proxy (just turn it off!) That's my setup, here's my problem: ISA SERVER internal ip: 192.168.0.250 external ip: 172.23.238.170 From outside the network, I am able to ping the external IP of my ISA Server with no problems. However, after a few days uptime (about 3-5 days), my pings no longer go through. Why is this happening? It's not just ping that dies, but some TCP ports stop working too (although some ports stay open). Strange! Anyone got any ideas?

For some reason, when using the ISA server the pings do go though, but it is extremely sluggish (what normally takes a few sec, now takes 15 to 20 min). Does anyone know why I’m having this problem? Possibly a solution?
