Well it all depends on what kind of VPN connection you are trying to make...<br />
<br />
I'm assuming the firewall is running on the desktop making the connection?<br />
<br />
Common VPN ports:<br />
<br />
50, 51<br />
500 for IPSEC<br />
1723 for PPTP<br />
1701 for L2TP<br />
<br />
What kind of VPN tunnel device are you using?<br />

Yes the firewall is running on the desktop - Symantec Internet Security 2007 Personal Firewall.<br />
VPN type is PPTP<br />
Using Windows VPN<br />
<br />
I added ports 50,51 and 1701 - still no dice.<br />
<br />
Thanks

Can you setup a rule allowing unrestricted access to the IP of your VPN endpoint?<br />
<br />
Are the logs showing any errors?<br />
<br />
Did you install the IS2007 before or after you initially configured the VPN? <br />
<br />

I'm having a problem connecting to any VPN server while running Personal Firewall from Symantec Internat Security 2007. I have setup a rule to open port 1723 but I can't connect. If I turn off the Personal Firewall I can. Any other ports or rules I should be looking at? I'm not using a 2nd party client just XP Pro.<br />
<br />
Thanks

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.
