I bet your problem is that the systems don't know where to route the packets. Change that 172.99.x.x subnet to something that falls in the reserved IANA range -- I've seen this problem before with other routing / VPN Setups. If that doesn't fix it, I don't know what it could be.

Hmm.... 172.99.x.x is not in the list of reserved internal IP addresses as defined by RFC 1918: ftp://ftp.rfc-editor.org/in-notes/rfc1918.txt
[...]
Valid Internal IP ranges:
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10/8 prefix)
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (172.16/12 prefix)
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix)

Well, that clears that up... have you restarted both systems on both ends of the tunnel? Did this start after a recent update on either one?
Yep, looks OK.
Your VPN subnets are fine. I am asking if you have any other subnets in those ranges on either firewall for any particular reason.
Had to ask. [:)]
When you ping the remote subnet from the other, do you see the packet counts climbing for the VPN when watching the VPN Routes page?
Do you have strict routing on/off and what about the auto packet filter? If the auto packet filter is off, do you have the appropriate packet filter rules set (though this shouldn't be affecting pings unless you disabled all the ping settings).
2. packet counter are climbing at the vpn status page on v6 side, don't know how to get this information on v7 side...
Do they climb when you ping from both sides of the VPN?
Also, if you have a TCP port you can connect to on each end, can you attempt to connect to it, then use netstat to figure out if the remote end got the TCP syn packets or not?
This sounds like a DNAT or SNAT problem to me. Can you post your NAT rules?
