Firewall

Sorry for such a stupid question but here goes anyway.

I thought the point of having the firewall client
installed on pc's connected to the SBS with ISA was as
follows.

1 - So that any rules etc configured in ISA would be
adhered to when a user accesed the outside world.

2 -I also thought that if they disabled the firewall
client then their usage would not show in ISA logs (But
now know this not to be the case, why is this can anyone
explain for me).

Thank you

In answer to point 2, if you have the proxy settings in the browser, you
will still get browser traffic, and it will show in the Web proxy logs.

If you disable the firewall client (unless you have set the workstation up
as a SecureNat client), then you wont get any access (other than browser
traffic)

Point 2 on the proxy stuff was well explained and
understood thanks Bob.

But..There always is one. You say "If you disable the
firewall client (unless you have set the workstation up
as a SecureNat client), then you wont get any access
(other than browser traffic)".

Bit sketchy on the secure NAT and also the fact i will
only get browser traffic if i disable Firewall.

Thanks for the responce
