[dba-SQLServer] SQL Server security

Hello All,

I have to install a checkpoint client to gain access to a customers network.

Unfortunately, when the checkpoint client is installed, it blocks all
incoming traffic to my main machine.  Even stopping the service is no help.

Does anyone have any idea how I can work around that?  I presume Checkpoint
are clever guys and there is not an easy way to open my machine up.

Even on My Lan, I cannot access files, or RDP or SQL server.

thanks
Mark
