Daily Shutdown of the Microsoft Firewall Service (ISA)

[newbobbys9]

Every day the Firewall service shuts down, rendering the ISA server nonfunctional. The problems started when the C: drive (with the MSDE databases) became too full. Since then, this is the message I have been getting:

The Microsoft Firewall failed to log information to MSDE Database ISALOG_20060912_FWS_001 in path C:\Program Files\Microsoft ISA Server\ISALogs. The MSDE Error description is: Could not allocate space for object 'FirewallLog' in database 'ISALOG_20060912_FWS_001' because the 'PRIMARY' filegroup is full.. The problem may be resolved by restarting the MSSQL$MSFW service. For more information about this event, see ISA Server Help.

Any help on solving this would be appreciated. Thanks.

OK, found the answer to this one. I had opened many addresses on the inside network, and the flood of traffic was enough to blow out the MSDE database I am using. I had to create a new database, point my (SurfControl) application to use the new one, deattach the old database and move it to a bigger drive. Narrowing the internal network address range got things under control, and seems to be good now.
