John:
I haven't seen NAV 2005 yet. The worm protection sounds like a firewall. Once, you've given the OK, is the setting remembered?
At the CAW host. The firewall in XP SP2 is turned on by default and does challenge CAW. So does ZoneAlarm. Both remember the settings so it's a one time deal.
At the CAW client. XP SP2 is an incomming blocker only, so there is no challenge when connecting to the host. ZoneAlarm is a two way blocker so there will be a challenge at the remote PC when CAW starts. NAV 2005 is probably working the same way.
I think CAW users are going to be "stuck" with this additional step. Limiting or disabling the firewall is just too risky.
