Hi Frank - If you've created the packet filter as mentioned on your SBS, verify that you have not set proxy info in the web.config file.

It's not a real return URL, but you can guess from my MVP speciality.

I have my SPS2003 server on a member server of a SBS2003 Premium tech domain/network. ISA 2000 is in place. I had the destination of an XLM webpart in the Trusted site group. I have a destination set, with IP rule in place. It still would not connect. I found an article in the SPS help file entitled "Managing WebParts" that said to add the proxy parameters and the cache parameters to the web.config file. I set the cache parameter to None, and set the proxy parameter according to my system, and Voila!, the XLM webpart pulled the RSS syndication feed, and Sig's XSLT formatted it nicely on the page.

My beef, aside from the proxy pamameters not being put automatically into the web.config file, is that the sharepoint experts did not suggest this and that a SBS MVP provided the first clue, and another pointed to your blog entry.

You are a genius Chad!!!

I was able to get this to work by following your suggestions above (except that I did not need to configure the HTTP Redirector Filter to redirect web proxy service). I'm not quite sure what this means?

Did I open much of a security hole by creating the HTTP protocol rule?

Want to take a shot at another odd problem I'm having? Whenever I restart the SBS server, I lose access to my SharePoint portal over the Internet (works fine internally). Restarting MS ISA Server Control
and associated services clears up the problem.

Thanks again!!!

Hi Ed -

Try this - in ISA, create a Client Address Set that includes the IP of the member server running SPS. Now create a new Protocol Rule that allows HTTP traffic for the Client Address Set you just created. Next, edit the HTTP Redirector Filter to forward web requests from SecureNAT clients directly to the requested web server instead of the web proxy service. Last, make sure that ISA isn't requiring authentication for outbound web requests.

You've just come very close to helping me solve a problem that I've been struggeling with for quite some time. In addition to Companyweb on my SBS server, I've got a second server on my LAN running SharePoint Portal Server 2003. Neither had been able to access the online gallery. I followed your advice above, and the Online Gallery started working for Companyweb.

Any thoughts on what I might do to get this working with the second server?

Thanks,
Ed Lee
