FL MP and an ISA-Server (Firewall)

The place to ask for technical help with running the demo or the full game...

FL MP and an ISA-Server (Firewall)

Hi there,

When I run a FL-Server in my LAN, I can connect to it and play, that works so fine.
But when I try to play on Servers in the Internet, I always see the message "connecting to global server..." yada yada, and nothing more happens. No servers listed there.
My computer is running behind a Microsoft ISA-Server (Firewall and Proxy). I followed all the steps mentioned by Microsoft to configure the DirectPlay Ports to be open. But no FL-Servers found so far :-(

Is anybody here with knowledge of configuring an ISA-Server? I post the protocol-definitions, target-sets, a.s.o. by email (and/or into this list here, if s/b is interested).

btw: it worked fine, before I set up the ISA in my company-network. ISA has to be running, no way to take it off (as I have had some intrusions in the past and the LAN is not only private ;-)

Anymore details needed? For solutions, just email me. If topic is of common interest (more ISA-Users out there?), then let's use the list.

And disabling the firewall here is no option :-(

Anybody else with ISA-Experience around here?

(but thanks anyway, Alex ;-)
