Using Windows client. &nbsp;The client connects to the remote network and can see machines but no files or email can be transferred. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I have actually found the solution by reading the Norton Personal Firewall manual. &nbsp;The solution was to:<br />
<br />
Open Norton Personal Firewall<br />
Configure Personal Firewall<br />
In the Personal Firewall Window, on the Home Networking tab, choose the Trusted Zone and click Add<br />
In the Specify Computers window, choose Using a Network Address<br />
<br />
I then entered an IP from the remote network (any will do I think) and then added a subnet 255.255.255.0<br />
<br />
OK, ok and it all works.<br />

Hi<br />
<br />
I am trying to access the company network through VPN, but although I can connect to the network I cannot access the exchange email server or connect to shared drives. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
I remember that another user had to add exceptions for the company network IP range to his XP Service Pack 2 Firewall for File and Printer Sharing before he could access exchange &amp;&nbsp;files, but I'm not sure how to do this with Norton Personal Firewall (2003).<br />
<br />
What should I do?<br />

How to allow VPN access through Norton Personal Firewall

Software firewalls, also known as host-based firewalls, provide a layer of software on one host that controls network traffic in and out of that single machine. Most operating systems now include firewall software, but many available software firewalls include central distribution, antivirus systems and disaster recovery.
