We currently run MS Proxy 2.0; still, so we were looking to convert to ISA
because MS Proxy 2.0 is no longer supported. We need something that will act
like MS Proxy 2.0 does and what it does today is only caching. We are a
finanical institution so security is really big so we don't allow individual
workstations go out directly if we can help it. ISA does alot of things
nicely for us but streaming media is not one of them. Do you use any proxy
servers or do you use just ISA?

Then do the same thing with the Media Player as I described, but forget the.
part about the Firewall Client. The Hardware Firewall will have to allow
outbound Access for the workstation in question. The other option is to
leave things as they are and provide credentials to the Media Player when it
asks,..in the form of:
username: domainname\username
password: *********
These are the kinds of things you run into when ISA is used in a way that is
less then what it was intended for. The ISA was desgined to replace the
existing Hardware Firewall and is a much more capable product. We have a
hardware "box" here as well, but I run it and the ISA "side-by-side" and
independent of each other and so I don't run into problems like this.

Phillip thanks.
But I'm setup a little differently. I do not use ISA as a firewall simply
as a caching proxy server. I have a hardware firewall I currently use and
point workstations to the ISA only for caching so I do not use a firewall
client on the workstation. The ISA through our hardware firewall is
allowed
access outbound to the Internet using http, https, and ftp only.

You have to configure it to *not* use a proxy. Then be sure the Firewall
Client is installed on the machine so the Media Player can authenticate
via
it, instead of trying to authenticate on its own like it has been (and
failing).
The exact location of the setting varies with the version of the Media
Player, but when you find it look for the protocol list, particulary the
"http" and set it to "none" instead of "browser" like it probably already
is.
Before:
HTTP browser
MMS none
RTSP none
After:
HTTP none
MMS none
RTSP none

I would like to know if there is any documentation or additional
configuration to get all Windows Media Player traffic to work 100%
through
ISA 2004 Enterprise Server?
Do I need to configure anything on ISA, or on Windows Media Player at
the
desktop level?
Run different version of media player depending on OS version. We
currently
runi Windows 2000 and Windows XP on the desktop.
