Re: SKYPE through ISA 2004

Yes that's basically how I'm suggesting you "allow" Skype. Even though the
laptops don't theoretically have access to your internal network that's
where they are connected. Otherwise if you're comfortable with them being
internal you can try to set them up as SNAT clients for ISA which means they
have to have an internal static IP address.

I think Steve is referring to physical access to the network, and not
necessarily about actual permission to use resources there. Correct me
if I'm wrong, Steve.

In other words, if I'm this laptop user, plugged in but not joined to
the domain, and I have enough connectivity to make a connection,
through the switch, to TCP port 80 or 139 on another node, then this
node actually is inside the network.

One way around this is to insert (if you haven't already) a NAT device
that A) ISA Server and B) OTHER *both* plug into.

A Skype user would fit into the category of 'other'.

Are you absolutely sure you want to allow Skype inside your network?
I'd
give those users a connection on the outside of your network to avoid
any
potential security issues.

===========================
We've got a couple folks here doing research for a few months. On
their
personal laptops, they have SKYPE to converse with family and
associates.
They tried it for the first time yesterday and told me today it
wouldn't
work. First thing I think of is ISA. The laptops are not part of the
domain, but each of them is a Power User in the domain. For those
who've
gotten this to work, what tips can you give me?
