ISA Server and PcAnywhere

[chrisw669]

I am trying to pcanywhere to a machine on my internal network from the internet thru an isa server. I've followed the doc on

http://www.isaserver.org

and can't seem to get it to work. Any ideas?

I also added Packet Filtering on the ISA server (Q304350) for ports 5631 and 5632. Instead of getting communication problems from pcanywhere i now get host is busy. Getting closer but still no success.

Another thing, when i look in the Alerts, I have an error for "IP packet dropped","IP packet was dropped according to specified policy". I am almost certain that the pcanywhere connection is causing this alert but can't find a way to see what port(s) the packets are being dropped.

Hi chrisw669,

This is not the only answer to your question, but it's the way we have our ISA set-up to allow PCA access.

[ol][li]Create Protocol definitions that allow:

[tt]
Protocol Port Direction
TCP 5631 Inbound
TCP 5631 Outbound
TCP 5632 Inbound
TCP 5632 Outbound
UDP 5631 Receive Send
UDP 5631 Receive Send[/li]
[/tt]
[li]Create an Access Policy | Protocol Rule that allows those protocols[/li]
[/ol]
