Using FirePass with Windows Live OneCare installed

Question

I am not able to get FirePass to VPN connect when my Windows Live OneCare Firewall is turned on.  If i completely disable the firewall then i can establish a connection normally.  How do I configure OneCare FireWall to allow FirePass VPN split tunnel connection.  I believe the same problem exists with the standard Windows firewall that comes with Windows XP SP2.

I can verify that the same problem does exist -- in some cases -- with the regular Windows Firewall.  Are there any ways to make an exception to allow the firepass connection to be made?&nbsp;
&nbsp;I can certainly do the research, but if somebody already knows, please spill it.&nbsp;
&nbsp;Thanks,
&nbsp;Will

I'm using thr F5 Web-based VPN client under Vista with OneCare and have the same issue. I have to turn off the OneCare Firewall to get it to work. I have seen that the VPN client files seem to be loaded into a download directory, but I cannot determine where, or I would try adding those specific files to the exceptions list.

We have the same issue and have tried exceptions with no luck.  I don't think the two are compatible.  We're seeing a lot of people installing OneCare and this is a big problem.

You need to allow for two processes to get through the firewall. &nbsp;
&nbsp;tunnel.exe and I believe another f5 component.
