My PC is Windows XP Home edition Service Pack 2
I installed Cisco VPN (Virtual Private Network)
client 4.0.3. Order for the Cisco VPN client get
connect, I have to disable the Windows XP firewall
first. Why is that? That is NOT cool to disable the
firewall.

How can I connect the Cisco VPN client without
disenable the firewall? Do I need to upgrade
the Cisco VPN client? What is the latest version
out there?

Thank Q very much in advance!
