Having problems configuring your ISA Server to accept incoming Ping requests? You generally don't want to allow inbound ping, but it is useful for testing purposes. Dieter Rauscher shows you how to get ping working on the external interface in this article.
Here's the transcript for today's ISAServer.org chat (May 29, 2003). Very good conversation and some info on publishing Exchange RPC, just in case you've been having problems with it!
In part 1 of this two part article on how to join private networks where both sides are using a back to back DMZ configuration, we discussed the basic principles of the design and went through the details of the network configuration and setting up the connection between the external ISA Server firewall VPN gateways. In this article we’ll continue where we left off.
We're pleased to announce the launch of ServerFiles.com, a directory of server based software for your Windows 2000/NT & .NET network.

Now that Windows Server 2003 is officially released, and ISA Server is officially supported on Windows Server 2003, we can get to the business of testing out ISA Server on Windows Server 2003 machines. There are many compelling reasons to run ISA Server on a Windows Server 2003 machine. Check out the article to find out what they are!
I’ve noticed a number of posts in forums about how to set up ISA Server to work with a Starband (and other Gilat based 2 way satellite internet connection). I thought that as I am using the connection it was time to set up ISA Server on the gateway PC running the Starband software and see whether it could be made to work.
Uptime is the clarion call of the network admin. File servers need to be up, mail servers need to be up, Web servers need to be up and database servers need to be up. All these servers need to be up and doing their jobs around the clock. These days the life’s blood of your business is your Internet connection, which means you also need your firewall to be fault tolerant. But is NLB enough or do you need something beefier to do the heavy lifting? Find out here!
A subject we haven’t covered yet is a gateway to gateway link when you have two ISA Servers at each site in a back to back private address DMZ. You create the first gateway to gateway link between the external ISA Servers, and then create the second gateway to gateway link between the internal ISA Server inside the first tunnel between the external ISA Servers. Want to know how to do it? Come inside!
