I want to be able to use Bit Torrent file sharing program from client PC
behind my ISA Server. I have an error when trying to download files:

Problem connecting to tracker - HTTP Error 407: Proxy Authentication
Required (The ISA Server requires authorization to fulfill the request.
Access to the Web Proxy service is denied)

I'm told that I need to open up ports 6881 to 6889, but I'm not sure how I
do this on ISA Server. I have a hardware firewall on my PC at home where it
was much more simple! Does anyone having an experience on this please?

Thanks
Jon

Thank you for posting your question to the Newsgroup.

If your clients already have the ISA firewall client installed, you most
likely only need to create protocol definitions.

Expand Policy Elements in the ISA Management console.
Right click Protocol Definitions and enter a name for the protocol def,
then enter the Port and protocol information
Select the appropriate direction based on the 3rd party application

The protocol definitions you create are then used with the protocol rules
to allow or deny clients using these protocols. To check to verify that
your protocol rule is set to allow the new definition, display the
properties of your protocol rule, click the protocol tab and verify that
the rule applies to "all ip traffic". All IP traffic is defined as all the
protocols you've defined under Policy elements, protocol definitions.
