Cisco VPN service network troubles

Wife suddenly started to complain about trouble to connect to our server (at home). I thought a simple reboot will fix the problem but nope. Can ping other computer from server but can't ping the server from other computers.

Firewall is off, and after some research I found it is the Cisco VPN service. As long as the VPN service is started, even if VPN is not connected it will still prevent connections.

So problem solved :-)

MS security updates

Yesterday night I posted about how I got a virus by just using IE9 to view drudge report (even after I denied the UAC requests), MS released 13 patches, once of them is this:
