Thanks.

Does the ISA 2006 have the latest patches and updates installed?
Were there any changes made to the ISA 2006 prior to the problem you are experiencing?
Dear g00se

The ISA is downloading latest update and patches.

There was no serious changes apart from we tried confuguring VPN  in the ISA we actually got traffic moving but slow,but then we disabled the VPN. I wonder if this will be an issue.
Will welcome further assistance

Thank you

Before adding the VPN on the firewall, was the firewall running smoothly without the ISA Server stopping at random?
