L2TP IPsec on OfficeConnect, can't see LAN in Virtual Private Networking

L2TP IPsec on OfficeConnect, can't see LAN in Virtual Private Networking http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r20346565 en Sat, 26 Jul 2008 02:13:29 EDT Sat, 26 Jul 2008 02:13:29 EDT Re: L2TP IPsec on OfficeConnect, can't see LAN http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20390016 NJH : I believe the Vista firewall blocks pings by default. If you want to be able to ping that machine you will either need to allow pings on its firewall, or as you found, disable the firewall completely. Note pings are not necessary to allow file and printer sharing, so if that is all you want to do, do as Shrapnel64 says.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20390016 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 05:04:13 EDT Re: L2TP IPsec on OfficeConnect, can't see LAN http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20360155 Shrapnel64 : Usually allowing file and print sharing as an exception should solve that problem.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20360155 Sun, 20 Apr 2008 20:31:41 EDT Re: L2TP IPsec on OfficeConnect, can't see LAN http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20346958 johnpsph : All right, sorry for all of the confusion, but I have it narrowed down to a firewall problem on my vista client. When I shut the firewall off completely, I was able to ping the client. At this point though, I'm not sure which port(s) to open. If anyone can help me out there, I'd appreciate it.

I can connect successfully to the OfficeConnect and ping it's LAN address (192.168.1.1) from another machine using the integrated Vista VPN client, but cannot ping any client on the OfficeConnect LAN. I'll post up some screen shots to give you an idea of my setup. The client I'm trying to ping has the following IP settings:

ip: 192.168.1.8
subnet: 255.255.255.0
DNS : 192.168.1.1
Gateway: 192.168.1.1

If anyone can make any suggestions as to settings I might want to change to be able to connect to a machine behind the OfficeConnect, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks
