I have a VPN connection defined and it connects properly.

However, when I want to map a drive through that connection it works fine when I have the FIREWALL turned OFF but it fails immediately that I turn on the firewall!@!##!

I see that there are ways to make exceptions in the firewall feature but I have no idea what I would "except" when it comes to mapping a network drive. The VPN connection is itself in the exceptions list, for what that's worth.

Can anybody advise what I have to do to get this thing to work with the firewall active???

Thanks
