Cisco VPN Client and Comodo Firewall Problem

To get around this I'd recommend:
- Change the VPN service startup from 'Automatic' to 'Manual'.
- Create a shortcut titled 'Start VPN Service' on your desktop.
- In the shortcut's 'Target' box enter: C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\net.exe start "Cisco Systems, Inc. VPN Service"
- In the shortcut's 'Start in' box enter: %windir%

You'll only need to start the service once after rebooting before initiating a VPN connection.

Hope this helps.

Unfortunately you are stuck, as Cisco have licensed ZoneAlarms firewall engine to embed into their VPN client. When you start the VPN client you are invoking the ZoneAlarm engine as well as it is monitoring the data flow over the VPN connection.

Two firewalls on the one system is asking for trouble.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

Hi there,

I solved all my VPN problems by installing the Cisco VPN client BEFORE installing the Comodo firewall. Hope this helps!
