Map Network Drive over Sonicwall Site to Site VPN

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

 

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.

 

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.

 

So are you able to ping the opposite side?

 

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

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

 

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.

 

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.
