Hello,

I hoping someone can assist with an issue I am having. I have 2 DrayTek Vigor 2926 routers at separate offices linked via an IPSec tunnel. The tunnel is established and working, I can ping the internal LAN IP of the routers from either side but I can’t ping any devices sitting behind them.

For example, a laptop plugged in at the satellite office side can ping the LAN IP of the router at the head office site, but nothing past this point. Current config details are as follows;

Head office: Server-side (dial-in)
Internal Address: 192.168.16.*
Gateway Address: 192.168.16.254



Satellite Office: Client-side (dial-out)
Internal Address: 192.168.17.*
Gateway Address: 192.168.17.254


Kind regards

Trevor

Does it help if you fill in the "Remote Gateway IP" with the actual IP address of the Vigor at the far end. (I think what you have, is what Draytek recommend. It's not what I have though :wink: )

Could be a routing or firewalling issue...

Does the Routing Table of each Vigor, have an entry saying something like:-
Code:
C~ 192.168.x.254/ 255.255.255.255 is directly connected, VPN-1 S~ 192.168.x.0/ 255.255.255.0 via 192.168.x.254, VPN-1 where x is the 'other' network


What about the clients. Do they just use their Default Gateway setting? ...

Do the clients have any Firewall settings that might prevent access from remote networks?

What does Tracert/Traceroute show? (Client on one network <--> Client on the other)
