USING THE WIZARD
Figure 3-1: ISA-4000 browser interface welcome screen
If you can't connect
If ISA-4000 does not respond, check the following:
Machine is properly installed, LAN connection is OK, and it is powered ON.
You can test the connection by using the "Ping" command:
Open the MS-DOS window or command prompt window.
Enter the command:
ping 192.168.0.1
If no response is received, either the connection is not working, or your PC's
IP address is not compatible with ISA-4000's IP Address.
If your PC is using a fixed IP Address, its IP Address must be within the
range 10.1.2.4 to 10.1.2.254 to be compatible with ISA-4000’s default IP
Address of 10.1.2.3. Also, the Network Mask must be set to
255.255.255.0.
If you want to use DHCP to get IP address, please make sure you have followed
the setup procedure on 4.3 DHCP Client Setup.

Specify your Internet service settings (WAN port) as DHCP or PPPoE, Manually, or No
Internet. The four fields are described as follows:
No Internet
Selecting No Internet means that a connection to
the Internet is absent.
« 12 »
DHCP
PPPoE
If you select DHCP, PPPoE or Manually, you must
specify values for External Interface and IP
Masquerading.
External Interface: The external interface lets you
obtain an IP address using one of three methods:
• DHCP: specify the Client Host Name and the
Client Identifier. If you do not have this
information, you do not need to fill it in.
• PPPoE: specify the User Name and Password
(twice). Your ISP should provide you with the
user name and password.
• Manually: type the IP Address, Subnet Mask,
and Gateway in the fields. You can obtain this
information from your ISP or network
administrator.
When enabled, IP Masquerading configures the
ISA-4000 to provide NAT (Network Address
Translation) service.
Note: Network Address Translation is an IETF
standard that allows an organization to have an
Internet presence with one address. NAT converts
the address of each LAN node into one IP address
for the Internet (and vice versa), and serves as a
firewall by keeping individual IP addresses hidden
from the outside world.

MAIL CLIENT SETTINGS
If you use an external client to check your email (for example, Microsoft Outlook or Netscape
Messenger), then you must specify the following items in the external client’s email configuration:
• Your personal email address
• The SMTP server name (some email applications call it an "outgoing mail server")
• The POP3 server name (some email applications call it an "incoming mail server")
• The IMAP server.
The format of the email address is <username>@<domainname>
Example: isa4000@planet.com.tw
Username
Domain Name
This is the user name assigned to you. In this example, "isa4000" is the user
name.
Domain names are the familiar, easy-to-remember names for computers on
the Internet (in this example, planet.com.tw is the domain name). They
correspond to a series of numbers, called Internet Protocol numbers, which
serve as routing addresses on the Internet. Domain names are generally used
as a convenient way of locating information and reaching others on the
Internet. A domain name may be obtained from ICANN (Internet
Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, www.icann.org) or your local
ISP.
In the preceding example, the POP3 server name, the IMAP server name, and the SMTP server
name are all “mail.planet.com.tw"

HARING FILES FROM
The ISA-4000 can act as a cross-platform file server for users. Users can access files from Windows
XP/2000/98/95/NT using SMB (Server Block Message) protocol or CIFS (Common Internet File
System). Macintosh computers may use AppleShare or FTP (File Transfer Protocol). The
procedures to connect to the ISA-4000 from each operating system are listed below.
Before following these instructions, you must log in as either a user (refer to 6.1 Logging in as an
User) or an administrator (refer to 5.1 Logging in as an Administrator). To log in as user, the user
name and password must exist in the ISA-4000's user list (see 5.2.1 User List).

EB PUBLISHING
The ISA-4000 allows users to publish their web pages using FrontPage and FTP.
4.4.1 Publishing Web Pages with FrontPage 2000
The ISA-4000 includes the FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions, which permit the use of the clientside FrontPage application to publish and edit web pages on the ISA-4000.
Before you use FrontPage to publish and edit your web pages, you should enable FrontPage Server
Extensions on the ISA-4000 as follows:
1. Log in to the ISA-4000 as the administrator (refer to 5.1 Lo gging in a s an Admini stra tor).
2. Click Control Panel.
3. In the Administration menu, click Network Services, and then click Web Serv ices:

4. Click Enable FrontPage Server Extensions:
After the FrontPage 2000 Server Extensions are enabled, a webmaster account is created that
users can use to login to the ISA-4000 and maintain its web pages ( http://10.1.2.3/~username ).
4.4.2 Publishing Web Pages using FTP
Web pages may also be published to the ISA-4000 using standalone FTP applications.
1. Run the FTP application and use your personal account to login to the ISA-4000.
2. Upload your web pages into your personal web pages directory. The personal web pages
directory is located at:
/home/users/<username>/web/
The file “index.html” is created in the directory as the user's default page, after the user's account
had been created by the administrator (refer to 5.2.1.1 Adding a new user).
4.5 S
ETTING UP THE CLIENT TO USE THE WEB CACHING SERVER
The Web Caching Server stores (caches) the web pages read by its clients, and the client's web
access is redirected to the Web Caching Server. Once a cached web page is visited again, Web
Caching Server directly responds to the client with the cached web page. This reduces network
traffic and speeds up web access.
4.5.1 Force Client Site Browsing Through a Web Caching Server
After finishing the ISA-4000 GUI Wizard, the ISA-4000 enables the Web Caching Server and forces
all browsing access to be redirected to the Web Caching Server. This is done by adding a default
rule in the firewall's Input Chain.
4.5.2 Setting up WINDOWS 2000/98/95/NT4.0 to Access the Web Caching Server
1. Click Start, Settings, and click Control Panel.
