ISA 2004 & AVG Antivirus

The network /server setup is as follows:

5 server 2003 Enterprise machines all on the same IP set (10.0.0.xx).  Andrew runs AVG antivirus and is the server all other servers and workstations look to for updates.  The updates are handled via HTTP.

three of my five servers can see andrew fine and can pull AVG updates from Andrew.  However, Matthew, my ISA 2004 box, cannot see Andrew and cannot pull AVG updates.  By "see" I mean in the AVG configuration screen, when I test the connection to Andrew, it fails.  All of my servers are setup for remote administration in AVG and they are all setup the same.  My ISA box cannot pull it's updates from or communicate with Andrew.  I feel that since it's my ISA server, it must be a rule issue or something related to ISA.  Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

We have.  When we do add the internal to internal rule, RDP and Surf Control both cease to operate.

OH, Hi Keith...

This is the weirdest thing.  Any internal to internal rule craters RDP and Surf Control.  Turn it on, crater.  Turn it off, everything works fine.

All PC's and servers EXCEPT our ISA can connect to our remote admin for AV.  
So what traffic is been blocked in the ISA log?

When I run a query, the connection opens, then closes.  I see no denials to any services.  Also, when I attempt to edit my existing AVG rule to allow the ISA access to the AVG server, my RDP and Surf Control stop working.  I have noted that AVG uses FTP to pull updates and I have an existing FTP rule.
Does it not show a port or protocol though when the connection gets created?

it flashes so fast, I can barely see it.  tomorrow I'll see what I can do about getting a better read on the query.
once it passes, right-click inside the log data window  and just click stop query. You can then scroll back up at your leisure :)
thank you :)
