Sonicwall VPN Trouble

Alright,

Let's start off with my extreme dislike of SonicWall...and go from there.

What I'm doing is upgrading from the Standard Version 2.0.0.7 to their Enahnced Version 2.5. I can get the majority of my access rules and CF setup with no problem, where I'm having an issue is on the bloody VPN. Here are the specs of it...

VPN is a site to site VPN. Both TZ 170's mine is the Enahnced OS the other site is the Standard OS. Prior to upgrading (Standard to Standard) the tunnel works fine. After the upgrade I'm getting a "Remote host timeout on IKE authentication".

I've done some digging, even enabled all IKE traffic via the VPN interface and I'm still staring at the same error message. This SHOULD NOT be this hard, my only thought is I'm missing a basic step that SonicWall requires somewhere.

Here are the rest of the spec's on the VPN tunnel.
Authentication IKE shared secret.
Gateway to Gateway connection (internal IP ranges me 192.168.x.x to them 10.1.x.x).

Both sides are using the default settings for the proposal's.

Terminating the tunnel at the LAN. (For the upgrade I've tried terminating both at the LAN and the WAN interface with no luck).

Any thoughts? Appreciate it.
 
Don't have any experience with the enhanced firware but did you cycle the power on both TZ 170s
