It could be an ISA firewall client issue, as well. The poster stated that
ping doesn't work, which could simply mean that ICMP is blocked in a policy
for the installed ISA firewall client, or worse, the LAT is incorrect, or
worse, the ISA firewall client policies are misconfigured, which can
snowball into other issues. However there wasn't enough infrastructure
configuration posted other than reported symptoms to ascertain if this is
the issue.
