hi folks,
I have the following problem. I have an established IPSec-tunnel between 2 boxes.
I'm using SuSE7.1 and FreeS/WAN 1.91. The FreeS/WAN tells me that the tunnel is established (last message in /var/log/messages).
<SNIP>
Before starting IPSec the routes, the the clients can pinging each other are set by hand. FreeS/WAN sets the routes to the ipsec0 interface.
After starting you cannot ping anymore from the 1st client to the 2nd client ans the other way around. Does anybody know a solution for this problem???
Not withstanding everything that has already been said about strange routing etc, there was a similar problem to this on the list a couple of weeks ago. The problem was the ipsec0 interface was being blocked by the firewall at one end of the tunnel. If you have a firewall, make sure that packets can actually get to the tunnel. HTH, Maf.
THX
