After 3 weeks of hassel and 4 hours on the phone today with PSS it was discovered that
Windows XP and the Miscrosoft ISA firewall client don't play well together if not
correctly addressed.
In a setting, such as ours, where E2K is a SecureNAT client with the ISA and windows
XP clients have the ISA firewall client installed and enabled, if the ISA does not
have the domianname.com, .org, .net or whatever in it's LDT, new mail notifications
will not be displayed in outlook - no matter which version is used.
When setting up Miscrsoft's ISA server and adding an entry in the LDT, there is a
browse button that will find the local domain and add it - this falsely adds
*.domainname.com (or .whatever) which will not work (at least in our case according to
PSS) One has to manually add domainname.com without the wild card - either that or
disable the firewall client altogether.
If Windows XP install is an upgrade from Windows 2000 things work fine. This only
effected fresh installs of Windows Xp for us. The addition of the domainname.com and
a refresh of the f-wall client proved to work for us.
Thanks for everyone's help,
Casey
