Contivity VPN Problems

First a silly question

2- Have you made your VPN box on your local network the default gateway for your Signaling Server ?

Hope this helps

gateway for

Yes, of course I can ping the Signaling Server on the local network. I can connect an IP phone to it as well. Everything works except when it comes through the contivity. I tried making the contivity the gateway but then I was completely unable to telnet into and use the web interface to make any changes or check the logs. I had to use the console cable on my laptop to be able see anything that was going on with the contivity. It was probably due to the fact that the gateway address was also the address I used for laptop's gatway and therefore it was trying to find the gateway through the gateway. In any case it still did not work for me. Any other ideas?

Thank you in advance for your help!

Can you ping something else (not your Signalling server) on your local network from your distant network ?

Do you have some very restrictive mask (kind of 255.255.255.240) that would exclude your signalling server ?

Do you have permit all set on your tunnel & interface filters. Could there be some ICMP restrictions on your tunnel set by your contivity ?

I can ping a laptop ont he same network. I am using a standard /24 subnet (255.255.255.0) so I should have more than enough addresses. I will have to check the last one, but I doubt that is the problem. Thank you for your input though!

Are there any important ports being blocked by the signaling server? Or do you have a managed switch at the remote end behind the Contivity box that is blocking ports?

"compufxr" said to all and sundry:

Are you using client tunnels or branch office tunnels? If client, it shouldn't matter since everything is on the same network and at that point I'd start looking at filters on the Contivity. If branch office, which generally entails VPN's coming in from different subnets, it sounds like a one-way route such that the Contivity knows to pass traffic to the Signaling Server, but the Signaling Server has no route back to the branch office. If that is the case, try enabling something like Rip2 on both the Contivity and your core router, or add a static route on your core router for the purpose of testing this.

Just a thought. Not knowing your network, if you've removed all filters and such from the core, then by process of elimination you're left with routing and the Contivity.
