Cannot connect VPN when windows Firewall is enabled.

[Alien]

Hi,
I'm having trouble to connect VPN in my XPpro desktop. The dial
process stays in
connecting process when firewall is enabled.
I can connect if I disabled windows firewall.
I have added all the ports I can imagine, such as 1723/1701/UDP/
TCP.
What's the reason?
Thanks.

The usual solution for a firewall is to put the VPN into the "trusted"
zone.

trusted zone? are you talking about exceptions?

Naughty...multi-posted to 24hoursupport.helpdesk on USENET and there
were no working answers from there. Next time, cross-post.

However, "trusted zone" refers to those networks or IP addresses that
are listed as "trusted" whereby connections are made through the firewall
to them.

Don't know what "exceptions" means. Which firewall? Read the manual?
