Map Network Drive over Sonicwall Site to Site VPN

[FargoItTech]

I've setup a VPN Tunnel using 2 Sonicwall TZ-205 Firewalls. The VPN tunnel is up and active, I am still not able to see any of the PC's on the other end of the tunnel. Ultimately I would like to map a network drive from one site to the other.

Are you able to ping the IP addresses of PCs on either end of the tunnel?

 

[FargoItTech]

No, It I can't ping them

Then you have a configuration problem. Do you have the same IP addresses/subnet on both ends? If so, this is a big problem as the site to site VPN tunnel works as a layer 3/routed connection.

Site 1
is on a
192.168.2.0
255.255.255.0

Site 2
is on a
10.0.1.0
255.255.255.0

I'll have to poke around my SonicWalls to check the configs. But in other routers/firewalls, mainly Cisco, you have to add a route statement telling the local side to use the tunnel to get to the remote side. I suspect this is going to be the case here too.

Yes, You have to set an address object on each fire wall. For site a you put site b's network. At least that is what the guide I was following said.??? Thanks for you help.

So are you able to ping the opposite side?

 

[FargoItTech]

No I can't ping from either direction

You may have to add a firewall rule to allow the traffic through.

Do you see ICMP traffic being blocked in the live log?

 

[FargoItTech]

I'm not really sure how to check the live logs. I've Googled it but am still not clear on that

 

[zx10guy]

Sorry, I think the Live Log terminology is with Cisco.

To look at SonicWall's, go to Log which should bring up the Log Monitor.

Here is a screenshot of my log file

Any other ideas? This is still not working?

Sorry, I've been slammed with work and personal stuff. It'll take me some time but I plan on doing a mock test setup with the two TZ215s I have on hand. I need to do this anyways as I plan on setting up a VPN tunnel between my vacation home and my primary residence. I'll try to get this done within a week or so.
