One of our client’s proprietary applications called FormMaster has a built-in update feature.
Whenever they ran the update, it refused to connect to the CCH server, or go anywhere beyond the initial connection
In the ISA live query, the following would be seen from the XP Pro client in the log:
- XP –> CCH IP –> Destination Port 80 –> HTTP –> Internal –> External
- XP –> SBS IP –> Destination Port 1745 –> TCP Unknown –> Internal –> Local Host
Enabling SOCKS proxy settings in the application in any combination would not work.

Click OK, then click the Next button to initiate the connection to the server and we will see:

After closing the application and clicking OK, the updates ran as expected.
