Hi,

Actually I don't know what impact it has on OpenVPN, because to be honest I
don't use it yet. The problem is with XP's built-in VPN server. The SP2 firewall
(or ipnat.sys) drops the response packages from the server's local
interface.(because it thinks they are spoofed) 

Meanwhile I contacted Microsoft, but they want me to register my XP Prof before
they send me the hotfix. I dislike registering (and getting into Big Brother's
database) despite of that I have a legal activated XP. So if someone could
possibly send me that hotfix please...
