The first big questions : How many NICs you have on your Server, and how you will configure them ??

check this : http://www.isaserver.org/tutorials/Configuring_ISA_Server_Interface_Settings.html

check this and we will continue step by step

HTH,
Tarek

Hi,

The article i refered it to u in my previous post was for configuring NICs, it does not matter if it is Win 2000 or Win 2003.

Configuring the Nics is the first important point before installing ISA Server.

and If you want a real Firewall , and benefit from all the Features with ISA Server, it must be at least installed with 2 NICs, otherwise, it would be installed in a hork mode, single nic ISA Server, that any client can bypass it easy by changing proxy setting or default gateway.

As for installation, Check this article : http://elmajdal.net/isaserver/Installing_ISA_Server_2006_Remotely.aspx

Start from Step # 6 , and skip Step # 17 ( if u r not gonna install ISA Server remotely )

HTH,
Tarek

hey Tarek...you've been a big help...here are more issues:

I havent installed Isa 06 on the DC...just on the server...i did it remotely, but the guide which you linked me to was for ISA 2006 Standard edition...Where as I have the ISA 2006 Enterprise Edition...so what about the configuration details?

pls check this out:

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/isa/2006/deploy/ee_install_guide.mspx

Will that suffice?

Also...once all thats done...wont the ISA 2006 control the internet only the machine on which its installed? How do i link it to the DC so that i can control/maintain the bandwidth on the entire network

Thanks

What do u mean linking it to the DC ?

ISA already has System Policy that permit it to communicate with the DC.

check this : http://isaserver.org/articles/2004systempolicy.html

Tto control bandwidth , u will need a 3rd party app, one of the best bandwidth controls is http://www.bsplitter.com/
