Have to disable windows Firewall to connect VPN?

[Guest Meal]

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.

Re: Have to disable windows Firewall to connect VPN?

 

You have the possibility of setting the Windows SP2 firewall to allow the

VPN access through it, under the Advanced section.
