Firstly, close 2402 as that's just for cvs server -> lock server 
communications - the clients don't need it,

Just 2401 inbound should be enough (I assume ISA server is stateful and 
will handle replies automatically).  It sounds like it's making the 
connection but it's being terminated early (the initial connection is a 
single packet - if the replies didn't get out then you'd get exactly the 
symptoms you describe)... I'd check the logs of the ISA server to see if 
it's recording any error when the connection drops.
