I have a couple of things to note here
 
1) If Firewall Client is installed, but disabled, I've noticed IE do strange
things. I use VPN's to different sites, and if I have a VPN active, I have
to disable FWC otherwise traffic doesn't route properly. Disabling FWC
stopped me being able to browse the internet in IE. It seems that IE ignores
the proxy settings when it feels like it. Firefox, however quite happily
lets me browse the internet while a VPN is active.
 
2) I had a problem with a third party application that wouldn't use FTP
properly. It was part of an auto update sequence for some marketing
software. I could FTP to their site from DOS, but their auto update wouldn't
work. I traced this to the user not being able to use port 20 which is used
for active FTP communication along side port 21. I created a protocol for
port 20 and gave the users access to it, and hey presto, it worked.

Onderwerp: [isalist] outgoing client ftp problem through isa 2000

 

http://www.ISAserver.org

Server : 2003,  ISA 2000 including all service packs

Clients : Windows XP, no firewall enabled.

 

 

I am trying but failing in giving users rights for the FTP Protocol, to
access FTP Servers. 

 

What is the situation :

 

Client Machines with internet explorer proxy settings enabled, all at port
8080.

Clients have a default gateway pointing to the ISA server (ISA 2000)

 

On the ISA server, i made a new protocol definition : "ftp outbound" port
21, outbound. No secondary connections.

A new protocol rule is made, groups are allowed to used this FTP OUTBOUND
protocol definition.

 

Outgoing web requests : 

"Same listener for all internal IP Addresses", tcp port 8080 and integrated
authentication is used.

 

"Ask unauthenticated users for authentication" is turned off, this is
because we have a small application running that can't be used with the
firewall client, so it needs just a securenat configuration.

 

The FTP Access filter is enabled.

 

The problem : 

 

1. User's can not access ftp sites, i've set the "passive ftp" option in
Internet Explorer but it just won't work.

I tried to set the proxy port in Internet Explorer to 21 in stead of 8080.
No result.

 

2. Then i tried to install the firewall client, now client CAN use FTP
connections.

But i want only the Internet Explorer proxy settings to be used.

 

Has anyone a clue why my FTP setup won't work without firewall client
enabled ??

 

 

Thanks in advance, 

 

Sebastian van Dijk
