Hi folks,
my problem is the following.
I am using Windows XP Professional and I am connected to a Windows Small Business Server 2000 Network.
I connect to the internet through a ISA-Server ("Microsoft Internet Security and Acceleration Server"; Version 2000) which, serves also as firewall / proxy / dhcp.
Therefore, I have installed the Microsoft Firewall Client (FWC).
IE and firefox work properly if I type in the proxy-settings.
If i do the same in MSN Messenger or Skype, the services don't work.
According to the networkadmin, all the required ports are open. (Which I believe, because the problem only exists at my machine.)
(fyi: AntiVirus-definition-downloads work properly, if i type in the proxy details.)
After installing FWC, it shows an icon in the notification area.
There are three 4 states:
red cross -> no connection to the ISA Server
red arrow down -> disabled
nothing (but the sign) -> configured
green arrow up -> connected to the isa-server
here's the intresting thing:
IF the green arrow is up, everything, even MSN Messenger and Skype etc. work properly.
But my problem is, that i only get the sign, without anything ("configured"), so i can use only my web browser.
Does anybody know here, what I should do to get this "green arrow up" again?
(I tired:
- re-setting up my computer (it was anyways time)
- repairing the network-connection
- rebooting the computer
- restarting the FWC )
if anybody knows if I can do anything, please help.
Thanks alot.
