Whether IE needs proxy information or not depends on how the clients
are configured.
There are 3 ways that IE can reach the net:
1. configure it to use SBS:8080 for proxy.
2. configure the workstation as a secureNAT client to ISA (ie set
Def.Gateway to SBS and grant access in ISA).
3. configure the workstation with the Firewall Client (and grant access
in ISA).
You should always use the SBS Setup program to install ISA on SBS, as
it will set it up correctly for SBS. And then use the Internet
Connection Wizard to setup the basics in ISA. If you're using the
Firewall Client, that should be enough, if you're using secureNAT,
there's still a bit of work to do.
