Re: Using NewsWatcher behind an ISA 2004 proxy system

I cannot connect to my usual Usenet servers since the server system at my
work changed to using ISA proxy server 2004.

I have used MT-NewsWatcher and its predecessors for a number of years under
various Mac OS's and in various server environments but a recent change by
my work IT group to using an ISA proxy 2004 system has cut the chord.
Because I am not using my usual NewsWatcher access  path, I am posting via
an unusual route so if anybody can help please post to my email as well.
Thanks!

I am unclear if this is an OS X (I'm using Tiger) problem, a MT-Newswatcher
problem, a NewsWatcher problem or just a curse put on me by the IT group but
all attempts to connect to the microsoft news server and to my usual New
Zealand news server under xtra.co.nz are now blocked.

I gather from a bit of reading (well that which I can understand) that the
ISA 2004 system does not support SOCKS, and that OSX does not support an
alternative. I also gather that NewsWatcher may not be the only thing that I
am going to have trouble with and that both software update and ftp have
also been mentioned as  likely failures too, although I have not tested
these. I suspect that NewsWatcher is in fact just my first port of call on
this problem and that it is not involved at all.

So I would appreciate any comment from those who understand the problem as
to the possibilities.

The only way I know to get work with ISA server is to make your default gateway the ISA server. Rules will still have to be in place on the ISA server to allow your traffic out.
