L2TP Connecting but traffic is failing

Hey all,

 

I am battling an L2TP vpn issue.  the tunnel is connecting and authenticating but not passing all LAN traffic. 

From the remote side, I am able to ping the LAN interface on the XG.  I am not able to ping anything else on the LAN.

I ran a tcpdump with a filter for the ip address of the remote host.  here are the results:

 tcpdump host 10.10.160.1

on a host behind the XG, I am unable to ping the address of the remote host.

any ideas?

    the remote client I am using to test is a Microsoft Surface RT running Windows 8.1  I have already implemented the Windows Firewall change detailed here:
    https://community.sophos.com/kb/en-us/125226

     

    when  log in as local admin on the surface, I am able to create the tunnel and login, as mentioned above.  I am logging in with a user's vpn credentials, which is a local account on the XG.

    if I log into the surface using the end user's account, then attempt to vpn using the same credentials as above, it won't create the tunnel at all.

     

    so I'm getting quite mixed and confusing results at this point.
