Re: ISA Rule for Remote Desktop?

GAWD, that, and how ISA defines inbound/outbound rules, just confuses me.

ISA rules have nothing to do with how the remote PC sees it. The
inbound/outbound is purely from (some wierd MS) ISA's perspective and the
definition of source and destination networks.

It's all pretty well irrelevent however, the rules created by the CEICW are
correct if the network has been defined correctly. Rather than asking 'did
the CEICW define this rule correctly' the OP should let us know what problem
he is experiencing, what error message is occurring, and just why the frack
someone who needs assistance understanding ISA inbound/outbound definition
believes there is any benefit in questioning the result of several hundred
hours of MS' best dev team development and the experience of several
thousand users.

I think I better 'back off', something got 'under my collar' earlier today,
I think I'm starting to bite simply because it feels good.

I believe the direction is "outbound" when seen from External to Local,
which is correct. Although SBS dynamically opens port 4125, it is the
remote ActiveX that initiates the connection to SBS using 4125. If you
look at the URL that RWW receives from SBS when you try to connect to a
computer on the network, you will notice a &Port=4125&, in effect telling
the remote browser to use that port. From the perspective of the remote
computer, it is outbound. ISA Server (out of the box) blocks actual
outbound traffic on port 4125, which is why connecting to a computer on
your internal network via RWW gives you problems.

...at least that is the way I understand it. Hehe.

I am looking at a rule in ISA 2004 named SBS RWW Inbound Access Rule. It
has an Allow action, the protocol is named
SBS_Custom_Protocol_TCP_Outbound_4125 and in the details for that protocol
it is using port 4125 Outbound. It is from the External listener to Local
Host.

My questions: Is that rule correct for allowing Remote Desktop from
outside the LAN and should there be a rule for port 4125 Inbound as well?
I'm not seeing one.

Thanks
Jeff
