Hot Network Questions. Question feed. Even if the ping command works, verify that the ICMP traffic was sent in encrypted format from gateway to gateway.

You can use the following tools to do this. This logs events in the security log. This tells you if IKE security association negotiation was tried and if it was successful or not. Enable Success and Failure auditing for Audit logon events and Audit object access. Note If the Windows Server gateway is a member of a domain and if you are using a domain policy for auditing, the domain policy overwrites your local policy. In this case, modify the domain policy.

After you try to establish the tunnel by using the ping command, you can see if an SA was created if the tunnel creation is successful, an SA is displayed.

If you see a "soft association" that did not previously exist, then IPSec agreed to allow this traffic to go "on the clear" without encryption. For additional information about "Soft Associations", click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:. To add the IP Security Monitor snap-in, follow these steps:. If you can see ICMP packets in the capture file that have source and destination IP addresses that correspond to the IP addresses of the computer that you are pinging from and the computer you are trying to ping, then IPSec is not protecting the traffic.

To install Network Monitor, follow these steps:. If you are prompted for additional files, insert the installation CD for your operating system, or type a path of the location of the files on the network. Before you try to ping from a computer on one subnet to the other NetA or NetB , type ipconfig at a command prompt.

Start Network Monitor, and then on the Capture menu, click Networks. Try to ping the computer. If the ping is not successful, check the security and system logs. Also check the security log. If the remote gateway is also a Windows Server node, remember that:.

This gateway can route packets because routing is enabled in Routing and Remote Access. To view the Windows Server Resource Kit and other technical documentation, visit the following Microsoft Web site:.

If the Windows Server gateway is multihomed with two or more network adapters on the same external network or two or more networks that can reach the destination tunnel IP 3rdExtIP , the potential exists for the following: Outbound tunnel traffic leaves on one interface, and the inbound tunnel traffic is received on a different interface.

To avoid sending outbound tunnel traffic on the wrong interface, define a static route to bind traffic to NetB to the appropriate external interface: In the Routing and Remote Access MMC, expand your server tree, expand the IP Routing subtree, right-click Static Routes , and then click New Static Route.

In the Gateway box, type 3rdextip. Click Close , and then click OK. Start the IP Security Monitor tool. Need more help? Expand your skills. Get new features first. Was this information helpful?

Resolved my issue. Either the NAT device invalidates the packet, or the NAT device cannot read the packet headers required for address translation.

The only other option you have is PPTP. The figure below shows the typical remote access VPN scenario. The are a number of different control messages that are sent through the L2TP control channel. The purpose of the control messages is to establish the VPN tunnel, maintain the VPN tunnel, and tear down close the tunnel in an orderly fashion when the connection is no longer needed. However, it does require that the firewall listen and accept incoming connections to IP Protocol Note: You do not need to create a packet filter to allow incoming IP Protocol The reason for this is unknown.

The packet filters will start working automatically. If you have a very busy machine and you need the packet filters to start working immediately, you should restart the Firewall service.

Then right click on the Firewall service entry in the right pane.
