SYMPTOMS
When you view the contents of the Internet Connection Firewall log file (Pfirewall.log), packets for an IP address that is not on the interface where the firewall is enabled may be listed in the log.



CAUSE
The Firewall log records all packets that are dropped, regardless of whether the packet contains a source or destination IP address that is bound to the secured interface. For example, packets that are destined to a local VPN interface may be recorded to the Firewall log if the VPN interface is not bound to the interface where the firewall is enabled.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
