Hi,
I'm completely stuck setting up a a new sbs2003 server with isa2004. The
whole system is fully updated with all sp's and patches.
I have not been able to get FTP to function. At the same time I'm having
problems with my pop3 connector not beeing able to poll the emails from our
isp. (I have to use the pop3 connector until our isp can supply us with
proper dns and mx record).

I have used the CEICW and have configured all this according to the
instructions in kb825763, and done it several times as well.

My setup is quite simple.
Broadband with static IP connected to Netgear DG834N router.
DG834N is set to ALLOW ALL both incoming and outgoing.
NAT is enabled on Netgear DG834N
Netgear IP's (Public Static)/LAN (192.168.2.1 - 255.255.255.0)
SBS2003 Premium with 2 NIC's,
Internet NIC (192.168.2.2 - 255.255.255.0)
LAN NIC (192.168.0.20 - 255.255.255.0)

I have tried several different configurations on the ISA2004 but all with
the same negative results. I have looked at all the FTP posts on teh forum
and tried to follow the instructions to the letter without any changes. I
cannot access and FTP server via IE or Windows explorer. I have been trying
with Frontpage and FileZilla and still no proper connection.
When using Filezilla I can extract the following during connect

Status: Resolving IP-Address for ftp.photobox.co.uk

Trying to do FTP via explorer to ftp.microsoft.com generates the following
two log entries.

"The reply from Explorer is: An error occurred opening that folder on the
FTP Server. Make sure you have permission to access that folder. Details: The
operation timed out."

Using Frontpage also generates a no response fault.

I have been able to "send" files to a remote webserver using ftp.exe via cmd
window. This connection is also very fragile as it freezes as soon as I issue
eg a "ls" command.

On the POP3 the server connects and logs on to the pop3 server but then
receives no response.

Any help will be most welcome.

Thanks

Ronnie
