The firmware is XTM 11

Browse All TopicsOk, here is the scenario...
I have a fully functioning IPSEC VPN on my Firebox Core x750e that has been working great for a couple years - However, I have now been tasked to connect our sister company's network to our network to streamline our IT services. Everything has worked out great so far - through a MAN connection, I was able to connect our sister company's network to an interface on the Firebox and set that interface as the default gateway for their network. Communication between the networks is working beautifully.
Now the key to finishing the job is to allow our VPN clients access to our sister company's network as well as our own. Currently when they log in, they can only see our 10.X.X.X network. Our sister company's network is 192.168.X.X.....
In the Policy Manager for the Firebox, I set the mobile vpn settings for IPSEC to allow access to 192.168.131.0/24 in the "Allowed Resources" area. Also, on the VPN client software (Watchguard Mobile VPN for IPSEC) I added the 192.168.131.0/24 network to the "Remote Networks" section of the profile. There seems to be something I am missing, because no matter what I do I can't ping any device on the 192.168.131.0 network.
At first I thought maybe it was a policy denying access, but I've tried seemingly everything to allow the traffic through. Interestingly, as I said, communication between the networks is fine when not connected through the VPN.
Please help! :)

Tried and no luck.
Checked out the traffic monitor while attempting to ping. The only messages that are related to the IP of the VPN client are these:
2009-09-08 14:44:55 Allow 10.247.131.232 10.247.131.5 dns/udp 64702 53 0-External 1-Trusted Allowed 62 127 (Great Slave IPSEC-Any.in-00) proc_id="firewall" rc="100" src_user="Jeff_Denomme@Fir
2009-09-08 14:47:42 Allow 10.247.131.232 10.247.131.5 netbios-ns/udp 137 137 0-External 1-Trusted Allowed 78 127 (Great Slave IPSEC-Any.in-00) proc_id="firewall" rc="100" src_user="Jeff_Denomme@Fir
It doesn't look like this is even related to the ping request. .5 is our DNS server
I forgot in 11 they moved handling of muvpn traffic to the external interface. Let's try this (delete the previous rule if it's still there): add Any rule where From is <netrange of muvpn clients> and To is 2-Trusted (that's assuming the 192 network is aliased to 2-Trusted. Otherwise use 192.168.131.0/24.).
This is what is shown after updating the policy manager:
