The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Cannot get Sonicwall point to point VPN to connect

Asked by jtgerdes in Virtual Private Networking (VPN), Consumer Firewalls, Network Routers

Tags: invalid_id_info, sonicwall, received

I have a client who has a SonicWALL 2040 at their corporate office and SonicWALL TZ 170s at their stores and they all have a point to point VPN to the corp. office.  They recently moved their corporate office to a new location, but left a store behind where the corporate office used to be.  So we setup a new TZ 170 there just like the rest of the stores and pointed it (and all the other stores VPNs) to the new office's IP.  All the stores came up - except the new router at previous location of the corp offices.  The VPN setup is identical to the others and I have done everything I can think of including resetting up the VPN several times, hard resetting the new TZ 170 and setting it up all over again, and searching the logs for clues.  Here is a snippet of the logs:

From the TZ 170:

I search for INVALID_ID_INFO, but didn't really come up with anything.  Any insight would be hugely appreciated.  Thanks.
