VPN Tunnel with No Data

[David Gillett]

  I discovered last night -- by accident, actually -- that the 2.2 client
works with the "AtGuard" personal firewall software (which I believe has
been swallowed up by Symantec and become part of Norton Internet Security
2000).  The 1.2.6 client would crash my machine if that was running, so I'd
got in the habit of shutting it down before launching the VPN client.

It appears that 2.2 solved the problem

You should upgrade to 2.2 and see if you're still having problems. If so,
do you currently have an overlapping address assigned to an Ethernet NIC as
the
tunnel? If so, you will need to release / remove this first. When you say no
data goes across, how are you testing this? With a packet sniffer? Do you
see
any counters on the client increase / how about the Concentrator?

You say you're on an "Extranet". Are you behind a firewall ?? are you on
private
address space doing PAT? If so, does it permit ESP? If not, are you doing
NAT
transparent IPsec in which case you will need certain UDP ports 500 (and
your
defined port open), etc.

Can you ping across? or do nothing?
