   Hi,   
      
   I am using the win xp server on my work network via a speedtouch530 dsl   
   modem/router and winxp client at home (dialup). I can connect using the xp   
   vpn and setting the NAT configuration to point at my work PC as the server   
   on the router. It works fine, as long as Norton personal firewall is   
   diabled. When enabled, I just get an error when logging on. I have set a   
   rule in the firewall configuration to allow computers to connect through   
   port 1723, but it still refuses access.   
      
   Although the router claims it's a firewall, when I run a security check via   
   the symantec website, I get warnings regarding open ports. If I remove the   
   pointer making my work computer a server, the security check is clear, but   
   the VPN no longer works.   
      
   Any ideas on how to configure the hardware so that I have a working vpn and   
   a protected computer/network.   
      
   Cheers in advance
