Been beating my head on this one a bit for a while now, so I thought I'd see if anyone else has seen the same kind of problem. :) The environment: Msam 2.0 portal server Windows 2000 terminal server (SP3) - MFXP FR 2 Secure Gateway 2.0 From outside the network, connecting to the portal site from a windows XP pro SP 2 workstation I can login successfully to the portal but when attempting to launch a published application (either through launch or the PN cda) the ICA session starts to initiate gets to 75% (of starting the session) and then all citrix client activity goes away. No event or popup errors on the connection client No event errors on the servers The ICA client just literally disappears during the connection process from the client. If I try this same process from a windows 2000 machine I have no problems launching ICA sessions through the MSAM portal. MS hotfix KB884020 has been applied to the windows XP machines in question, and has made no difference. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=17d997d2-5034-4 bbb-b74d-ad8430a1f7c8&displaylang=en The appropriate websites for the Msam portal have been added to the trusted sites list for IE from the client XP machines with no affect. Pop-up blockers are not in use. The issue for all intents and purposes seems to be ICA client specific because I see it as the only failing component of the process. I've tried a variety of ICA client versions with the same affect in all cases. I've only seen this issue on Windows XP pro systems with SP2 installed, and it's driving me nuts . . . Any helpful thoughts? J PS - yes upgrades for this solution would be nice, they are planned for later this year however ;) ==================================================================== This e-mail and any files transmitted with it are confidential and are intended solely for the use of the individual to whom they are addressed.
