My WinXP machine works great with greenbow, VPN connects and I can ping and browse.

My Win7 machine however, doesn't work that great. VPN tunnel connects OK but I can't ping or browse the remote network. Even though windows firewall is disabled.

Both machines have the same settings in greenbow and uses the same connection..

Anyone have any ideas?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Greenbow-and-VistaWin7-issues-23563370 Wed, 30 Dec 2009 05:07:33 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Greenbow-and-VistaWin7-issues-23306726
Go to Control Panel / Administrative Tools and open Windows Firewall with Advanced Security

Make sure that Port 500 inbound is set to allow for all hosts. The install should have added a couple of ZyWall IPSec rules for this.

If you want to beable to receive Ping Responses, make sure ICMPv4-In is set to allow...there should be a rule called "File and Printer Sharing (Echo Request - ICMPv4-In)" containing this policy.

Once I got all of the firewall issues dealt with, VPN has worked great on my Vista laptop...]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Greenbow-and-VistaWin7-issues-23306726 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 14:55:15 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Greenbow-and-VistaWin7-issues-23305373 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Greenbow-and-VistaWin7-issues-23305373 Sat, 07 Nov 2009 07:15:00 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Greenbow-and-VistaWin7-issues-23301968 You have to make maybe 10 moves and you have connection to your Zywall. Earlier I used to open a connection in software like GreenBow or other but now it simplier.
For example I have Zywall 35 in my work and after work i go home and in home i boot my notebook and that's all , I'm in a work network with my home ISP, nothing to do, even if I change my ISP to mobile ISP it works too.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Greenbow-and-VistaWin7-issues-23301968 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:58:20 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Greenbow-and-VistaWin7-issues-23301871 said by nicarus:

In Windows 7 You don't need any client to connect by VPN to Zywall , it's built in Windows 7
Yes, it's been built into every NT-branch version of Windows since Windows 2000, it's just not practical to use because it's so complicated to setup and, at least up through XP, doesn't support dynamic IPs on the client side.

Greenbow does work with Win7. The orginal issue turned out to be specific to one PC.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Greenbow-and-VistaWin7-issues-23301871 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:44:40 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Greenbow-and-VistaWin7-issues-23301850 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Greenbow-and-VistaWin7-issues-23301850 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 12:39:46 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Greenbow-and-VistaWin7-issues-23151026 http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Greenbow-and-VistaWin7-issues-23151026 Thu, 08 Oct 2009 10:53:05 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Re-Greenbow-and-VistaWin7-issues-23149890

Same config on Vista and Win7 will build tunnel, but cannot ping or access resources.

Any advice?]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/Greenbow-and-VistaWin7-issues-23110702 Wed, 30 Sep 2009 22:51:35 EDT
