Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone knew what settings I need to use in Norton
Personal Firewall in order to allow remote clients connect to the VPN
Server. The personal firewall is running on the VPN Server machine and
seems to be blocking ports needed to establish VPN Connections.

I know my VPN Server works because when I disable the personal firewall on
the host machine, the remote clients are able to connect.

Here's my setup:
Host Machine (VPN Server) - Windows XP Pro w/ Norton Personal Firewall
Remote Clients - Windows XP Home Edition

Thanks,
John
