I would agree however when WalMart says you'll use this app if you want to sell us product, then you use the app. The nature of the fail doesn't show in ISA. If I have a range of ports in my server publishing rule, then Internal clients attempting to access the app server can't get there. ISA doesn't show any fails or denied. NetMon running on the SBS server shows a successful packet to the app server but the response from the app server is stack error 1250. If I have a single port (tcp 1521) in the server publishing rule then internal clients can get the app server just fine. Since the server publishing rule only applies from External to the app server why is this affecting internal workstation access to the app server?

That said: Q1 - what is the port range are you defining? Q2 - what is the nature of "fails"? ________________________________ From: isapros-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Amy Babinchak Sent: Mon 1/8/2007 4:00 PM To: isapros@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [isapros] Server Publishing Rule I have published an internal server on port 1521. Works fine. However, the vendor (an EDI application) says they need access over all inbound ports. If I create a range published to this server, then Internal access to the server fails. Why?
