Microsoft XP Firewall and Cisco VPN Client Connection
Hi,
I use the Cisco VPN client to connect to my office network. I note that Microsoft says that, "You should not enable Internet Connection Firewall on virtual private networking (VPN) connections, which are typically used to securely log in to a corporate network." http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...nmore/icf.mspx Does this mean that I should disable the firewall for my Cisco Systems VPN Adapter (in my case Local Area Connection 2)? Thanks, Tony |

Microsoft XP Firewall and Cisco VPN Client Connection
I Googled and found this link which is for Windows Firewall that is in XP
SP2. If you are using XP SP2 then it may help as it offers some suggestions on how to make it work with a Cisco VPN client. -- Steve http://ict.cas.psu.edu/training/howt...n403-xpsp2.htm "Tony_B" wrote in message ...
