Hello all,

First of all, I would like to thank everyone for their responses. Today
I recieved the first message from our Dutch IPS that our external IP is
unblocked... A couple of other dbases to go...

As you al read in my first message, i'am not a security admin... the
problem is that I work part-time administring a network which I have not
build myself. But with all the suggestions handed to me I will talk to
my supervisors to tighten the security around our network.

Indeed, ISA-server is on my priority-list along with the rebuilding of
the internal network.

So, thanks for your input. I know I have a lot to learn about this
subject bij this mailinglist is a very good start!

You have an open proxy on your network. Possibly ISA? Have the proxy
accept requests *only* from your ip block.
With squid (http://www.squid-cache.org), I would do:
acl mylan src 192.168.1.0/24 #This is the netblock for my local LAN
http_access allow mylan #Permit my LAN users to use squid
http_access deny all #Deny everyone

First rule of firewalling: 
Block everything,
Open as needed.

You need to authenticate on the basis of IP addresses, or username
password pairs.
