Pix to Pix vpn connection problem

The tunnel will not fully establish unless and until you have two-way traffic
If you use a PC on Site A Lan, ping a PC on site B lan
C:\>ping 192.168.10.x

What is the default gateway setting of PCA? Does it point to the inside IP address of this PIX?
What is the default gateway setting of PCB? Does it point to the inside IP address of PIXB?

Pinging from PCA to an inside interface of the PIX in site B request timeout.
The default gateway of PCA is the 192.168.1.253 (inside Interface).
I am not sure that the tunnel is establish as the debug output is saying:
crypto_isakmp_process_block:src:194.131.0.185, dest:217.204.93.44 spt:500 dpt:500

>Pinging from PCA to an inside interface of the PIX in site B request timeout
This will always time out. It is a security feature of the PIX

You need to ping some other host/pc on the LAN at site B
You will not establish the tunnel without 2-way traffic.

I have ping hosts alternatively from the sites, still same problem. The debug out is this:

Please help.

On SITEB, suggest creating a no_nat access-list carbon copy of the outside_cryptomap_20

Issue could be applying same access-list to two functions:
>nat (inside) 0 access-list outside_cryptomap_20
>crypto map outside_map 20 match address outside_cryptomap_20

On the other side you have:
>nat (inside) 0 access-list inside_outbound_nat0_acl
>crypto map outside_map 20 match address outside_cryptomap_20

Are you still working on this? Do you need more information?

Thank you all for trying to help, I found out that my ISP is blocking traffic into the site A firewall. I am currently working with cisco TAC on resolution for this one.
