m$ isa-frikken-server, we hates it! we hates it forever!
ok, yes. it was my fault. one obscure little setting was wrong. it's just a nightmare of hidden configuration crap. i hate it.
if you are thinking of getting on the net and using a proxy server and firewall, whatever you do, don't use isa-frikken-server. actually don't even use a microsoft box. the stupidest things go wrong with them. and add to that some cryptic at best error messages, a support site with a deluge of crap that is rarely relevant (ok sometimes relevant) and you have the recipe for psychotic sys-admins.
