   Hello,   
      
   Whenever I start up the laptop, I get a VPN-1 SecureClient alert   
   message which says, 'IP forwarding is active on your machine.  Your   
   machine has been tagged as Insecurely Configured and will block   
   inbound connectioins until IP forwarding is disabled.  Please disable   
   IP forwarding and re-start SecureClient'   
      
   Is it possible that the VPN software is blocking all my connectioins   
   even after I select "kill" from the VPN menu?  I tried to follow some   
   other advice on how to disable ip forwarding by going into the   
   registry.  But my machine seems to already have it disabled.  Unless   
   it's being enabled some other way...   
      
   I can't ping my laptop from any machine on my LAN but my laptop can   
   see and access the other machines.  And it can print to a shared   
   printer and even access the internet.  So I think it might be my VPN   
   that is still blocking incoming connections even though I use the   
   'kill' feature.   
      
   Anyone know any way around this or if this could even be the problem??   
   Am using Win 2000 on the laptop and Win XP on one other machine and   
   Win ME on another.
