Netopia R910 Router-Router VPN: Can't PING Remote LAN

[y2kdad]

I have successfully set up a PPTP tunnel between two Netopia R910 routers. Both routers are 20 miles apart, geographically.

One router (main office) has a public static IP address. The other router is dynamic and is set up as the "initiating" router.

The internal network address of the main office is 192.168.1.0 and the internal network of the remote office is 192.168.2.0.

At each location, there is a PC connected directly to the router and there is an Etherenet connection to the LAN from each router.

I can ping the PC that is directly attached to the router from the remote location, but I CAN NOT ping ANY of the other machines on the remote network at the main office.

Can someone tell me if there is something I have missed?

Thanks!

Yes, you have to set up the remote networks to be advertised within the tunnel. This must match the "local" networks from the other side. I don't particularly know the Netopias to advise you on the config variable, however, I would check any IpSec group settings that you have where you can specify networks.
