I have a client who is about to deploy Vista to its business and one of its legacy desktop apps is a client dialler which uses DUN to connect to server services. The application works but NLA kicks in upon connection. The users of the application can only select the PUBLIC profile and what we would like is to bypass this prompt in the first place since it can only lead to confusion. I have had a look at the Firewall Policy and can't see anything there which would allow us to say "whenever this DUN connection is made" or "whenever a remote interface is connected" apply the public profile without prompt. Given that the profile being assigned is the most restrictive I was hoping there would be a way to bypass the NLA prompt? All thoughts gratefully received. Remy

Slartibartfast: No, that's perfectly normal paranoia. Everyone in the universe gets that.
