Hi there,
Although the standard way to set up you ISA server is nic 1 into your hub and nic 2 to your internet connection, I have found that when using it as a proxy it works very happily on just 1 nic. However if you intend to use it as a firewall as well then 2 seperate cards set up the standard way is recommended.

hope this helps
