Thanks for the tip.
The ISA server AND the router AND the LAN were all plugged into the same
switch WITHOUT a VLAN. ie everything was connected to everything else.
Long before I took up the job the organisation paid huge $$$ the an
ISP/consultancy to install and configure the LAN and setup the security.
This is just the latest in a string of security problems I found:

1. No access lists on boundary router.
2. Superuser password same on everything (and easy to guess)
3. ISA configured with 'allow everything all the time for everyone'
4. No anti-virus on mail
5. Internal mail server connected to Internet OUTSIDE of ISA server
6. No logging on anything
7. Tape backup of 5% of the servers only
8. No backup configurations on anything
9. No documentation on anything
10. Router & LAN & ISA all on same switch with no VLAN

....I'm sure I will find more.........

Incidentally the ISP has now gone bust rather spectacularly. Looking at
the quality of this installaiton I am not the least surprised.

Finally,
Rather than play aorund with switches and VLANs I just found an old
100TX hub and plugged the router and External NIC of the ISA server into
that. Works perfectly and doesnt need configuration. Sometimes the
simplest solutions are the safest ;)

Thanks again.
Al.

Since the ISA external interface is seeing these broadcasts, it appears
that
it's sharing a hub with the LAN.

How can I stop my IPP log filling up with Netbios broadcasts (stops me
seeing the interesting stuff when I am troubleshooting).

Eg:
I see all these LAN broadcasts.

2001-12-11 23:32:00 172.16.3.35 172.31.255.255
Udp 138 138 - BLOCKED 203.110.145.178
2001-12-11 23:32:00 172.16.2.218 172.31.255.255 Udp
138 138 - BLOCKED 203.110.145.178
2001-12-11 23:32:00 172.16.2.254 172.31.255.255 Udp
138 138 - BLOCKED 203.110.145.178

I have a rule that blocks all Netbios....and it is NOT logged.
...but it specifies the 'default external ISA  IP' and 'any host'.

How can I tell it not to log ANY netbios, from anywhere to anywhere? Or
is there another way to stop LAN broadcasts ever getting to the external
interface - so they dont have to get blocked there and appear in the
log?
