   VPN and XP Firewall issues   
   17 Mar 05 08:52:45

   I've set up a VPN to access my home network when I'm on the road using my   
   laptop. I can login and create the VPN connection. What I can't do is access   
   LAN resources with the Windows XP Firewall enabled.   
      
   VPN Client is configured on my laptop. VPN Server is configured on my   
   desktop. Both sytems have XP Home SP2. I have a Netgear wireless router that   
   I configured the VPN through port forwarding and static IP address   
   assignment for the VPN Server host.   
      
   If I turn off Windows Firewall, resource access works seamlessly. Can I use   
   the Windows XP firewall with this VPN setup? If so, how do I sent it up?   
      
   Thanks so much for you insight and wisdom.   
      
   Cheers
