I have a VPN tunnel running from our main office to a remote office. We recently added another machine in the main office and I added this machine to the VPN tunnel so that the remote office could access the machine. When I try to ping the machine from the remote office I am seeing the response show up as a "spoofed source address". Does anyone know how I can tell the firebox to allow the ping response?
 
Here is the output from the firebox. I am trying to ping the 192 address from the 10 address:

10/24/06 10:29 firewalld[147]: deny out eth2 60 icmp 20 64 192.168.200.9 10.10.10.34 0 0 (spoofed source address)
10/24/06 14:40 firewalld[147]: deny out eth2 48 tcp 20 64 192.168.200.9 10.10.10.34 443 3850 syn ack (spoofed source address)
 
Open up the Policy Manager and then do th follwoing:

1. Click on Setup => Intrusion Prevention => Default Packet Handling and then uncheck the option for 'Block SYN Flood Attacks' and also uncheck 'Auto-Block source of Packets not handled'. Click on Ok

2.Click on Setup => Intrusion Prevention => Block Ports and then uncheck the option for 'Auto-block ports that attempt to use Blocked Ports'. Click on Ok

Save the configuration onto the Firebox and check it out.
 
I got this working, The new server has both a public and private IP address on 2 seperate NICs using the gateway for the external as the default. I set up a static route so that the internal NIC goes to the remote office and everything worked perfectly.

Thanks for your input.
