MessageDo an IPCONFIG /all from a cmd prompt and see if you have an external IP. I get this error (the cache one) at times .,.. it DOES NOT hang the firewall proxy. I know that you cannot get a DHCP allocated ip to your external NIC with out shutting down your ISA services. I have ISA on my Home network, which is a cable modem. In order for me to run dynamically I had to use the vbs script. Let me know if this is the case. ----- Original Message ----- From: andy fairley To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Sent: Sunday, December 23, 2001 10:18 AM Subject: [isalist] RE: Web proxy service fails to start http://www.ISAserver.org I think there is just the one issue. The failure of the cache to initialize is why the Web Proxy service fails to start! In fact I can produce this massage in the application log by attempting to start the service manually. Drive F: is a 9GB IBM SCSI drive that also hold the system files. eek! I'll try moving the cache to the data drive though that is a bit full. thanks Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: Mark Strangways To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Sent: Sunday, December 23, 2001 3:10 PM Subject: [isalist] RE: Web proxy service fails to start http://www.ISAserver.org Disk cache F:\urlcache\dir1.cdat failed to initialize. Some errors were encountered when ISA Server restored specific data cache files. ISA Server will now attempt to recover these files. These errors may have occurred because there was not enough time to complete all necessary shutdown operations, when ISA Server was previously shut down. To avoid this in future, you can increase the value of the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\WaitToKillServiceTimeout registry key. Identify the reason for cache failure by examining previous recorded events, or the error code. The error code in the Data area of the event properties indicates the cause of the failure (internal code: 503.6225.3.0.1200.50). " This is basically telling you that the drive "F" is having some issues, I have gotten this error on a drive that was connected to a add-on IDE board. And yes the drive does have issues :-) but it still works for now, and there isn't much on it that is REAL important. As for the other issue, please se my previous post. I belive this will help you tame the problem. regards, Mark S ----- Original Message ----- From: andy fairley To: [ISAserver.org Discussion List] Sent: Sunday, December 23, 2001 10:00 AM Subject: [isalist] RE: Web proxy service fails to start http://www.ISAserver.org "The Microsoft Web Proxy service terminated unexpectedly.

I now cannot get ISA to start properly without the Web proxy service hanging and not being able to be restarted. I have uninstalled the ISA and rebuilt the server many times but keep coming back to the same problem. Web Proxy will not start. The external nic receives its IP address by DHCP and I have experimented with all sorts of packet filters etc. Whether they are enabled or not the nic seems to get its address from my ISP. When I study the logs I see that ISA is blocking some more UDP traffic - could this be the reason why the web proxy service fails or am I barking up the wrong tree?
