Tom-

Thanks for the reply. Where do I need to configure the clients as Web Proxy
and Firewall Clients? On the workstation or ISA Server? I have the ISA Server
set as the Proxy Server on the workstations already. Also where do I change
the logging to text from MSDE? Will that then let me read the logs in Notepad
and tell me what user browsed what site? Will I be able to open those logs in
ISA's new GUI logging browser interface?

Sorry for all the questions. I am pretty new to ISA. Although I cannot wait
to buy your book when it becomes available. I heard nothing but good things
from you ISA 2000 book. I have just assumed the role as ISA Administrator for
our company.

Thanks again,
Tom
