still if you know how to do it using FwcTool.exe i will prefer this solution as changing the iSA config but thx for your help

That is the exact opposite thing that you should be thinking. You should never have to use the FwcTool. I have never known of any good reason to do it since ISA2000,...but for whatever reason MS choose to keep it around. The FWC config needs to be centrally controlled by the ISA Server.
