ISA 2004 - Access to internal network WSUS server from branch office machines



Hi,

This has also been posted to the SBS group and isaserver.org, so far
with no response. If anyone one has any ideas that would be great, I
just can't nail this one.

I have configured a Draytek 2800G router to router VPN for a branch
office, the Domain Controller in the BO is a R2 box and is functioning
fine and replicatikng with the SBS 2003 box. The R2 box is also an AD
intergrated DNS server for the BO pointing to the ISP DNS servers for
use as forwarders, as does the HO SBS box.

Initially I had to add an access rule allowing traffic from the BO
192.168.25.0 and the 192.168.1.0 subnets to the internal network and
local host before I could ping the internal interface,192.168.11.2 of
the SBS box and use connectcomputer from the BO.

The setup is:

BO 192.168.25.0
BO Router 192.168.25.1
Public IP at BO
Public IP at HO
HO Router 192.168.1.1
HO external NIC 192.168.1.2
HO Internal NIC 192.168.11.2

HO DNS and WINS point to 192.168.11.2
BO DNS and WINS point to 192.168.25.5 and 192.168.11.2

The issue that I have is getting the branch office computers to check
in with the WSUS server on 192.168.11.3 at the HO. That machine and
any other client machine at HO can ping 192.168.25.5, the R2 BO DC;
but the R2 box nor any client at the BO can ping any of the HO
internal network boxes.

Any thoughts on what I might need to add into ISA, if indeed it is ISA
and not some Netbios issue.

Thanks.
