Dear Folks,
I have had problems with the Cisco VPN Client (both 3.6 and 4.6 versions)
with the (XP Pro) Windows Firewall system - this was solved by listing the
VPN client executable (ipsec.exe in this case) as an Exclusion (as mentioned
in another post), but that alone didn't do the trick. I also needed to open
UDP port 62515 in order for the system to work correctly with the firewall
enabled. Prior to doing that, the secure link was apparently established,
but would not communicate properly. (I use the UDP tunneling transport).
Cheers,
Curt Breneman

Too funny.
John,
I do not have the Antivirus system you have. However, one often can tell
the software firewall that a particular application is "authorized and
safe". Can you do that with your VPN application inside the 2005 Norton
SystemWorks Premier? You may have to allow it to both communicate to and
> from your computer as well.

My suggestions is to install a Unix based system like Linux or to buy a
Mac,
because this OS does not have viruses.
