Hi,

I used Remotedesktop over an ISDN dial-in connection prior to SP2
installation without any trouble.

After SP2 install, remotedesktop won't work any more with firewall
running. Even adding remotedesktop and filesharing to exclusion list in
firewall doesn't resolve the issue (acces to all clients). Only
deactivation fwall helps.

So: how can firewall be configured for a dial-in connection? I was under
the impression, that this ain't necessary?

If I use LAN to get remotedesktop this works without changing the
configuration so I assume fwall blocks remotedesktop.

You have an XP machine with an ISDN dial in and you've set up an incoming
connection so that you can connect and use RDP to access either the host
machine or other machines on the LAN. This worked pre-sp2.

With SP2 in place, you are finding that you can only make this work by
completely deactivating the firewall?

The firewall has per-interface configuration. Have you right-clicked the
Incoming Connection icon and configured your desired exceptions there?
