I use all three on my machine, as Thomas has said in the tutorials, they all have things that the other can't do. - I have to tunnel thru HTTP proxy for one app, - Need the firewall client enabled for downloads on MSMSGS. - And I like to have the access that SNat gives me . Ofcourse this may explain why it can be hard to troubleshoot some connectivity issues, but that just keeps things interesting :) regards, Mark ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Harrison" <jim@xxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "[ISAserver.org Discussion List]" <isalist@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Sunday, September 09, 2001 12:48 PM Subject: [isalist] Re: Web Client vs SecureNAT > http://www.ISAserver.org > > > WEB client: > 1.
