Hi all.........I searched the forum for this already but didnt see anything related to my problem. so here it is. domain is running fine so far with one important exception. I had to disable windows firewall to allow my domain users access to shared files. If I enable the firewall all users connections to the server die instantly. I have file and print enabled in the firewall what else am I missing? Thanks in advance.

Well, I haven't played with the Windows firewall much but it sounds like you have everything shut off on the LAN side of the firewall. You'll want that open so LAN clients can connect.

LAN side = open
WAN side = closed down

Hi, You should need not have the Windows firewall installed on the server! The server "is" the firewall and is designed to handle all network activity using its own software. What version are you running, have you set everything up in ISA Server Management?
