Hi I have set up a winXp sp2 standalone Pc as a VPN server to accept incoming
VPN calls.
I have set port forwarding on the router for port 1723
I can connect to the computer with a VPN connection easily from any computer
When I try to map a network drive to the shared folder on the XP computer I
can only do this when the Windows firewall is switched off.
If the firewall is on I can only connect to the PC and not browse it.
Can somebody please tell me why windows firewall is shoving a spanner in the
works and how to stop it because I dont want to leave it turned off.
Thank you
