Well, Vista has two FW administration UI screens. One looks the the XP
admin UI screen, and the other one is different and is the Advanced FW UI.

Go to the Adv FW UI which is off of Control Panel. The icon looks like a
brick wall.

It will show you all the FW rules. So look for the filter name, and you can
right-click the line and do what you need to do.

Also look for anything concerning the VPN protocols.
