Hi,

I set up a VPN connection through windows XP pro SP2's new
connection wizard, and I have windows xp firewall as the only
firewall.
I found that if the firewall is enabled, the VPN would not connect.
Otherwise, it's OK. When firewall is disabled, I see from the logs the
following lines:

2008-03-03 13:13:00 OPEN TCP 192.168.1.111 206.191.121.211 1518 1723 -
- - - - - - - -
2008-03-03 13:13:03 DROP TCP 206.191.121.211 192.168.1.111 1723 1518
72 AP 1483709829 2369502654 65211 - - - RECEIVE

It seems the outgoing connection from 192.168.1.111:1518 to
206.191.121.211:1723 is OK,
but when the server connected from 206.191.121.211:1723 to
192.168.1.111:1518, the packet is dropped.

I tried to open the port TCP 1518 in the firewall's exception list,
but after another try I found out that the port of VPN on my XP is not
a fixed one. The VPN client just open a random port on my machine.

I think that means I cannot simply open a port on my firewall, but I
also found that I cannot add the VPN client as a program in the
exception list.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance.

You have the possibility of setting the Windows SP2 firewall to allow the
VPN access through it, under the Advanced section.


Nobody can answer it?
