Cannot connect to VPN

I've been busy all morning trying to get a PC running XP to accept a connection from Remote Connection VPN.

 

I tried adding rules to allow ports relating to VPN to pass through, but nothing appeared in History. If I disabled Smart Firewall I could connect instantly.

 

I eventually tracked it down to ...

 

Settings > Network Settings > Smart Firewall > Advanced Settings

 

then turned off Stealth Blocked Ports !!!
