Re: Two 2006 Questions

1. I am aware of the edge connector vs. VPN issue. The ISA server will be
an edge protector for the remote office, and the ISA server at the main
office and the remote office will each establish a VPN to the other allowing
all traffic to flow outward. That was never an issue.

2. Cabling. The Clearwire modem is plugged into the External facing NIC on
the ISA server. Internet connection established and working well. When I
unplug the existing DSL modem - there is only a patch cable to the internal
LAN switch - i simply plug the patch cable into the internal lan NIC on the
ISA server. No other cables are moved or altered.

3. I understand about the broadcasts. Won't DHCP advertisements also be
broadcasts? To wit, when issue IPCONFIG /RENEW command from a desktop, I can
see the DCHP attempts on the ISA monitor log being denied. They are headed
to 255.255.255.255 as well, it seems. Oh, to mention, I have DHCP set up in
system policy.

4. I am familiar with the ISA tutorials you listed, but there is not much
sense troubleshooting the VPN - which isn't ready to be hooked up yet - when
I can't get the internal LAN to work with DHCP.

5. This still leaves on the table my question about local machine log vs
domain log on for the remote ISA server. For a remote branch office with no
DC, how would the ISA server authenticate at start up? Do I have to lug the
remote file server to the main office to promote it to a DC first to get
local authentication? Doesn't seem like that is generally practical.

In conclusion, what has me stumped is not the VPN but the fact that the
W2003 machine on the internal network which has a static address is not
handing out leases to the other internal machines; it looks like ISA is
reporting failed to connect.

Thanks.
