| ZW35 to ZW35 VPN packet loss while VPN is up
I recently set up a site to site VPN and am having an intermittent connectivity issue and I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this. There is nothing in the logs and the VPN never goes down during the loss. On 7/17, I upgraded both routers to the latest firmware - V4.04(WZ.1) | 06/26/2008.
These next tests were all done within 30 seconds. I'm pinging from Richmond (192.168.1.0/24) to Boston (192.168.10.0/24).
NetBIOS over TCP/IP through the VPN is enabled. \\PDC is the netbios name of one of the servers back in my Boston office.

I tried this same experiment with the remote gateway as well to eliminate the unlikely scenario where it was a problem with the remote server. The SA monitor shows the VPN as up.
