DFL-210 - SOLVED
« on: August 10, 2009, 06:48:28 PM »
DFL-210 running current firmware. Using NetDefend (DLink) software on Windows XP Pro workstation. Configured IPSEC tunnels (triple-DES SHA) using this primer "ftp://files.dlink.com.au/products/DS-60x/REV_A/SetupGuides/DFL-210-800-1600_DS-60x_VPN_Setup_Guide.pdf". I can connect from home I get an IP from my Windows server on the remote LAN but I cannot get any return traffic. I cant ping the server from home. The DFL-210 is able to PING me though. Seems like a routing issue but I am not sure.. No problems sending its just the traffic can't find its way back to me. Strange too is I can't bring up the firewall web GUI from home but the firewall can ping me? make sense?

You are most likely on the right path with routing issues, I would do a routing and metric sanity check next.

Exactly which software are you using?  I have not read that primer (it is hosted on the D-Link AU site), but I can't imagine it is incredibly different from what would be on the US site.

How are you pinging yourself from the firewall if your not in the GUI/CLI ?

Also sounds like the Metric Value for your vpn route might be too high ?

thanks for the speedy replies.. I have a RDP connection from my work computer (this is a friends network) and I  was VPN'n in from one workstation here at home to access the GUI and then had another workstation using the NetDefend software. I recently upgraded the DFL firmware (in the last week) and it is whatever the current ver. is. Where would I begin to dial in the routing. The local (home) net is 192.168.0.0/24 and the remote net (DFL-ville) is 192.168123.0/24.. The IP I am getting from the DHCP server (which is Windows SBS server) is 192.168.123.108 (scope is .100-.125).. DFL LAN address is 192.168.123.254.. Also, I am using the D-Link VPN Client Software

ok, it turns out using the DHCP server from the remote LAN to give me an IP address was the problem. I removed the IKE config mode (pool) and specified in the NetDefend client IP to use the "local IP" and voila I was connected.. Kinda makes sense... Now, it has two disparate networks to route between... anyways, thanks to those that responded..
