IPSec pass through to Sonicwall

Mike_Cunningham
I have a work laptop that needs to VPN to a Sonicwall/Aventail appliance (IPSec not SSL).
My home firewall is ASG v8 software.

If I connect the laptop to my internal (GREEN) interface, and enable all IPSec protocols and ports (ANY to ANY) in ASG (with reporting/logging), I see no activity, and there is no connection.

If I unplug the ASG from my modem and connect in the work laptop directly to the modem, it connects no problem.

Anyone have any ideas? The *official firewall guy* at work said to use Wireshark on the laptop.


TIA.

Mike

    I see no activity

    Where are you looking?  If in the Packet Filter live log, you need to flag the IPsec allow rule to 'Log traffic'.

    If I unplug the ASG from my modem and connect in the work laptop directly to the modem, it connects no problem.

    Anyone have any ideas? The *official firewall guy* at work said to use Wireshark on the laptop.

    I suspect that this is a NAT problem - so a client configuration problem or a shortcoming of the Sonicwall VPN server.  In any case, if after confirming that there is traffic between your laptop and the Sonicwall, I bet you'll need to check the client log and check the Sonicwall forums to solve your issue.

    Good luck, and please post the answer here when you find it!
