Your first problem was when you connected a Windows machine to the internet. If you have a spare router, try and put that between the machine and the outside world until you get everything updated.

Nonsense. Windows 2000 can be locked down sufficiently well...

I just put the cart ahead of the horse because I wanted to get ISA 2004 setup as quickly as possible...

There are lots of arguments for using non Microsoft software. Not a single one of them pays my salary :wink:

lol, yea i guess i did sound a bit defensive... not intented

Looks like things are workin so far. knock on wood. VPN much easer for clients to setup than sonicwall's outdated crap...

Web/FTP/Email all going through ISA now...

Only thing left are the individuals that insist on pc-anywhere...

Then, of course... ghost image of system drive, and a full backup
