I work at a school and I am trying to give the lab teacher the ability to
turn internet access on or off at any time. For 2K using IPSECPOL, it works
fine. For XP using IPSECCMD, I get "Failed to add policy., error 0x5". I
can run the same command locally and it works.

This command:
ipseccmd \\vmware-xp -f [0:80:TCP=*:80:TCP]
gives the error message. Using the very same filter statement locally, it
works immediately. Something about doing it remotely. I do have admin
rights.
 
Thanks for the workaround idea. I had gotten to that point. It's not as
clean as using IPSECCMD like it should be able to be used but I am at a loss
and may settle for the work around.

I have not used either command enough to know what the problem could be or
if that is SOP in XP. Another possibility is that he could try to use the AT
command to remotely schedule a task that runs the necessary command. See the
link below on the AT command if you are not familiar with it. --- Steve
