Have been pulling my hair out over this one for hours, and wondering if someone can help. I have a server with two network interfaces that was running isa 2004 and humming until i installed sbs service pack + isa 2004 service pack 3. Grrrrrrrrrr

I can get the client machines to connect to the internet but only by installing the ISA Client on each machine or setting proxy settings etc in the internet settings.

Ideally i want the client machines to just work with no configuration or proxy server settings as they were before.

Where do i start, and what other information do you need from me if any to find out what im doing wrong

Thanks!

What are the settings in IE wich did work without the SP3 for ISA2004? If autodiscover proxy settings is enabled, then it looks like the WPAD-configuration is broken. This is a feature to auto-detect the proxy-settings by requesting wpad.dat from your isa-server.

Check if you can get a file named http://wpad/wpad.dat. If that doesn't work, check if there is a dns-name WPAD pointing to your isa-server, and check if you can get the file using http://isa-server/wpad.dat.

  • hi thanks for the answer i think autodiscover was on and that is all. do i replace "isa-server" with the actual internal full domain name of my server? –  Apr 15 '10 at 14:04
  • jup, you should replace it with the name of FQDN of your isa-server. If that works, check if a DNS-entry (A-record) WPAD exists, and points to the IP of your ISA-server. – SlinkingAnt Apr 15 '10 at 21:12
