Greetings -
I posted this over in the VPN section but I believe it may be better suited among the Nortel networking folks...


We are having a problem in which a tunnel is established but you cannot ping from the remote site to the main site until the main site first pings the remote site.

Further Info:
Remote Site is a Nortel BSR222 configured as a branch office initiator.

Main Site is a Nortel VPN 1750 configured as a branch office responder. The 1750 is located behind an Untangle firewall/router.

The VPN soft client establishes a tunnel as expected and works with no problems.

When we attempt to ping the main site from the BSR222, the tunnel establishes right away. I am still unable to ping anything at the main site.

Once I initiate a ping from the main site to the remote site, the ping responds. Once this initial ping is done, I am able to ping from the remote site to the main.

Does anyone have any feedback? Routing issue? NAT problem?
