VPN Issues between TZ190 and TZ170 with a Site to Site VPN

I am trying to set up a VPN between a remote office TZ170 and a main office TZ190.  Both have static IPs are using a ADSL connection.  

Some of the logs are listed below.

IKE Initiator: Start Main Mode negotiation (Phase 1) (MAIN OFFICE IP), 500 (Remote Office), 500 VPN Policy: To remote Office  
2 01/29/2008 19:51:53.576 Info VPN IKE IKE negotiation aborted due to timeout (MAIN OFFICE IP), 500 75.58.246.246, 500 VPN Policy: To remote Office

hi there!
it seems, firewall is dropping your packets for vpn.
is any of your boxes located behind the firewall?

I have a dsl modem that may be blocking.  It is a Siemens 4100 DSL modem.  I have tried to configure it for pass through but it does not seem to be working correctly.  
it is possible to configure your sonicwalls with nat traversal setting. configure it.
nat traversal use only udp port 500 for tunneling traffic, so most firewalls should allow it through
on your dsl router something like allow ipsec passthrough should be configurable
Do I set both Sonicwalls with Nat transversal?  or just the main office?   I have this enabled. I talked with ATT and they no longer use the Siemens 4100 DSL modem.  They can ship out a Motorolla 2210 modem or a netopia.  Not sure I need it though.  
both of them should be enabled with nat traversal, pleaes look into sonicwall's manual for configuring nat traversal.
I suppose tunnel should come up
if not, please provide logs from both boxes
I confirmed that I have both Sonicwalls set with NAT Travesal.  I have it set to 240 seconds k.eep alive on the TZ 170.  I do not see this keep alive option for the TZ190.  I can not check the dsl router now
I am getting the folloiwng in the TZ 170 Logs many times

01/30/2008 11:42:25.766 ICMP packet dropped 192.168.0.1, 8, WAN 55.55.55.55, 0, WAN ICMP Type: 8, Code: 0  


192.168.0.1 is the LAN IP of the DSL router
your tunnel is established now, isn't it?
keepalive should be set to 60 seconds, the value should be smaller then inactivity timeout
Nope my tunnel is still not up.I reset the keep alive to 60 seconds.

Some other log messages from the TZ170
01/30/2008 13:55:52.000 UDP packet dropped 192.168.0.1, 53, WAN 55.55.55.55, 34628, WAN UDP Port: 34628
Stepping back a bit from your immediate question, why does your DSL modem have a LAN IP at all? The way you have your network set up may affect VPN behaviour... unless you have a specific requirement, I would recommend doing all you NAT'ing on the SonicWALLs themselves rather than NATing at the DSL router. If you can set your DSL modem to bridge mode, then I recommend doing that and handling the PPP on the SonicWALL - by putting in your broadband username and password there. There are other ways to do this as well, by simply putting the router into "No-NAT" mode (this requires that you have atleast 2 public IPs) or some routers offer half-bridge or transparent modes to achieve this.

I'm not familiar with the particular model of modem you're using but in general I have found that things work a lot better when your modem is doing the minimum possible, with all address translation etc happening on the SNWLs themselves...

OK so the Modem has the following:

A very limited number of applications require that the public IP address assigned to the modem be used by the local LAN device.  Let LAN device share Internet address?   Yes, use public IP address.

Also about PPP Location
.............
WARNING
Changing these settings may interfere with your ability to connect to the Internet.

 I have the following paragraph selected ...........

PPP is on the modem. This is the normal mode for this modem when connected to a single computer. In this mode, the PPP session is initiated from the modem. Gateways and routers should work in this mode but their configuration may have to be changed to do so (e.g., you may need to have the gateway/router IP address changed to 192.168.1.1).
   
 These are teh other two options for the router.  I have tried these and not been able to connect to teh internet from the local machines at afterward.

 PPP is on the computer. This mode is normally used if you need to run a PPPoE client on your PC. This mode can be used with a gateway or router which initiates a PPPoE session. To return to the DSL modem user interface you will need to directly connect your PC to the modem without any gateway or router between the modem and the PC.
 
 Bridged Mode (PPPoE is not used). This mode must be used if you are connecting to a non-PPPoE network. Selecting this mode will cause the modem to automatically restart.
pppoe mode mentioned above can be used along with what budchawla proposed.
so you configure modem to be transparent, without ip address, enabled with bridged mode. then on your sonicwall you can configure your wan interface as pppoe interface.
in this configuration you'll avoid nat funtion of your modem and your wan interface of sonicwall will have real ip address given out by your isp
Thanks I will try this today.  I have tried to change to the bridge mode before but have run into problems with the modem.    However it may have been that I did not switch the SW to PPOE and input correct user and password credentails.    At least I hope this is it.  Will get back to you 2 this evening.
Hi, sorry for not getting back earlier... yup, as I said before, you need to enable PPPoE on the WAN interface (Network->Interfaces) on your snwl - getting an internet connection depends on configuring your modem and pppoe client (in this case the snwl) properly. If you ISP is handing out a dynamic IP then you will know when you have the correct settings if you get an IP assigned to the snwl.

There aren't that many settings to play with so you shouldn't find it complicated...
DSL Modem was changed to the newer version Netopia 3356n and I disabled NAT on it.  I then went to the SW and enable PPoE on the WAN.  Was not able to get internet.  More info:
PC set to DHCP
Before disabling NAT I was able to connect to the internet when I was directly connected to the Netopia Modem.  After NAT I was not - I assume this was because the PC was set to DHCP and was not getting a DHCP server from the modem anymore.
I have a 8 static IPs available through this connection.
After getting home I was able to lookup some help from Netopia ( http://netopia.com/support/hardware/technotes/CQG_042.html )
This link show how to set up PPoE with a routed Subnet.  I believe this is what I need t do next.  I will be trying again Friday.

Thanks guys!!!
This was a great comment.  thanks budchawla "You would only use PPPoE on the SNWL if you had a DSL modem in bridge mode."

Thanks for the options I like that as it is at least a starting place.  Here's my plan...
3) Config the Netopia to run PPPoE w/a Routed Subnet (NAT Off); Note: Dont forget to config the Sonic with Public IP & 255.255.255.248 netmask.  This places the Sonic in the DMZ - no firewall pin hole to config.

Question:  Do I have to route anything through the Netopia?  even with NAT off?  Don't think so but seems to be to easy.

I will be at the clients on Monday and will let you know then.

How did it go yesterday?  I noticed earlier where you stated you were using a Siemens 4100 and later a Netopia.  My comments were Netopia specific - hopefully you were able to access the Netopia router.

Hmmm, looks like we lost the virtual connection to 12sierra12 - or either 12sierra12 lost his "client connection"...  ; )
