NSA 240 GVC Connectivity issue

GVC is not connecting to VPN (NSA-240 full bundle).
While attempting to connect asking for PRE-Shared Key then its shows "authenticating" thats it. But it was worked last week perfectly. We have not made any changes since.

When I tried to make some changes on GVC like...Under Peer properties
1)      Peer - DPD Settings -" Whether or not traffic is received from peer"-
2)      NAT Traversal Disabled
 Its asking for username and password and after that it will show "Acquiring IP Address". Thats it.... But not connecting to VPN Server (NSA 240)

My Scenario...
WAN port Connected to Linksys Router.
LAN port Connected to switch.

I tried to troubleshoot like:
1) Re installed GVC several times on client machines(all are Vista machines).
2) Updated firmware- "sw_nsa- 240__eng_5.2.0.1".
3) Linksys port forwarding enabled 1 -65535 on both (TCP & UDP).

I really appreciate prompt reply from any sonic wall experts

Session dying after "waiting for IP address" suggests it may not be getting one. What's the DHCP server for the VPN system? If it's the Sonic, make sure you've not turned that off. If it's some other srver, make sure the Sonic is set to relay DHCP requests to the server in question, and in both cases make sure the DHCP pool is big enough to have space for the remote client.

When I Disabled "NAT Traversal" on Sonicwall,the GVC started to ask authentication and I entered username and password then it says provisioning and just stuck "aquiring IP Adress". Thats it..... But not connecting to VPN Server (NSA 240)
See the attached log from GVC for this: Log 2.txt

DHCP Server is Sonicwall for Local Client and VPN Cleint

Looks like a bug in the Linksys if "allow both" failed but "allow TCP" and "allow UDP" as separate entries works.

Warning - opening all ports is not ideal - now you have it working I would suggest you work out what the actual ports required are and narrow down the rules to just the required ports.
