Hi, everyone
this my first post here.
i've searched for any add-on for ISA 2004 to restrict internet access to certain group of users with MAC address authentication.

and finally, i found what i'm looking for.

actually, it is not an add-on for ISA itself, but a separate FIREWALL called VisNetic
http://www.deerfield.com/products/visnetic-firewall/

now by this firewall, i can do the job without interfering ISA 2004 functionaliy.
simply allow all connectivity from your gateway (ISA server) to the trusted MAC addresses list and let the ISA server do the rest of filtering job.

i hope that's helpful for you.

greetings to all of you, and keep up the good work.

Yes i do install this on the ISA machine itself.

Basically, do youR usual filtering rules with ISA, then set a rule(TCP, UDP.... etc) in VisNetic firewall to allow all traffic through the internal NIC, but only for trusted MAC list, which you have created before.

So, when a request to internet access comes from one of your  LAN computers and the ISA server grant it permission to pass, it doesn't pass directly to the internet

and here comes the part of VisNetic firewall which check the souce and the distination MAC addresses, and then allow or deny it according to your rules :).

and sure you can block a single specific MAC or a group of MACs.

finaly, if anyone need hints in this i'll be watching this thread and offering help cuz i do believe there is no resources concerning this issue on windows platform (not Linux for sure) all over the internet (at least for me :D)

thank you all

HI dear friend.....
ITs easy to change MAC ADDRESS. We can get the MAC addresses from any scanning tool or by arp -a and apply it(any MAC adresses) in our NIC card.....
have you any updated idea regarding you own solution..
thanks....

Good luck with this idea.
1. MAC spoofing absurdly easy
2. MAC filtering is not "authentication", in any accepted definition.
3. This is a complete waste in a routed network.
4. when (not if) yo have problems with ISA behavior, PSS will tell (not ask) you to remove this.
