Re: Firewall and ISA

Can you elaborate on the problem with the low end firewall. Basically it
blocks the ports i am telling him to block. What else whould i want him to do?

You should either have a better quality hardware firewall or install ISA
2004 in addition to your current low end firewall. One advantage of ISA is
that it is aware of your active directory and can be very useful for
outbound security in addition to inbound.

I am currently using a linksys ADSL home gateway as a firewall between my
network and the internet. I am about to purchase SBS and wondering how much
i will benefit from the premium edition. I have a small office network so i
dont really need extreme security. With the present router/firewall i can
direct port 443 to the server which is (i think) the only thing i need
(RWW, OWA and RPC over HTTP right?).

Any comments?
