I am connecting successfully using the Symantec VPN Client 8 to our Symantec
200R firewall box. However, when the VPN client connects, it seems to stop
the XP SP2 firewall. I'm a little worried that when I'm connected via the
VPN, my PC might be vulnerable. There seems to be no way to get round this.
The VPN Client 8 installation has put an exception for itself in the
exception list of the firewall but that would not normally stop the
firewall.

Any ideas?

Regards,

Vic
