Default Windows firewall and VPN



Set up a VPN using the standard Windows client (using the wizard) to my
office network. Having been using this for months successfully (but haven't
used for about a month). Has stopped working properly. I suspect due to
updates I applied at some stage over the last month. If I turn off Windows
Firewall it works okay.

To clarify "not working properly". It connect okay, but I cannot access any
of the shared folders. I cannot even ping the server. If I turn off Windows
Firewall it works fine.

What exceptions do I need to include in the Windows Firewall for it to let
the connection through? I have tried unchecking the box next to the
connection in question (on the advanced tab), but that didn't work. Only
completely disabling the firewall.

Default Windows firewall and VPN



I have a VPN using the standard windows connection (using the wizard). It
worked fine for the last year but now has stopped working properly. I can
still connect, but now cannot access any shared folders. I can't even ping
the server.

If I turn off the Windows Firewall (I'm using XP Pro with SP2) I can access
the folders. I have tried unchecking the box next to the connection on the
advanced tab of the Windows Firewall, but this made no difference. Only
completely disabling the firewall.

Anyone have a suggestion?
