[vpn-help] Window VPN client 2.1.7 does not work with the firewall enabled.

[Simon Callan]

Hi,

 

I've just installed the ShrewSoft VPN client 2.1.7 on a new Windows 7 64 bit
laptop, with the latest patches. If I run the client with the Windows
firewall disabled, I can connect to the VPN server. If the firewall is
turned on, I appear to get the full connection up, but any packets I send
out just disappear.

 

We are using a Netgear FVS336GV1, with the latest version of the software,
configured as per the examples, except that our IP address is
192.168.1.0/24.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to configure the firewall to
allow things to work. I have put "Access manager" and "ipsecc" in the
firewall exception list.

 

Simon.
