Topic: IPSEC VPN add local network fail

[steve]

I have setup an IPSEC VPN using freeswan according to the following doc.
http://www.myezserver.com/docs/mitel/freeswan-howto.html

When I try to do the step4 and add to the local networks a path to the remote network, the addition fails with the following error.

Error: router address XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX, not accessible from local network. Did not add network.
Where XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX is the external IP of the remote server.
I have the tunnel up and can ping the internal IP of each remote server from the local net but cannot ping any IPs behind each remote server.

help

oh yeah, these are two mitel 5.1.2 servers

Leave the router entry out and it will use the default.

Oh and don't forget to hit the modify button in the IPsec VPN page after setting the local network up (no need to modify anything, just hit the button). Apparently this restarts the firewall rules to allow the new network access to your network.
