I have a Cisco ASA 5520 firewall and I have configured an IPSec VPN connection into this network. &nbsp;I can connect up to this internal network from home and running an ipconfig command I see that I am picking up an IP address from this vpn connection that I setup.<br />
<br />
However, I am not able to ping any internal servers or remote desktop into any of them. <br />
<br />
There is no listing of a default gateway when I run the ipconfig /all command after I connect up, so this seems like a likely culprit. Also, I am not sure if the DNS servers I specify in this connection should be an external DNS servers or my own internal DSN servers within the network I am connecting to.<br />
<br />
Any thoughts as to the most likely causes as to why I can't access anything from inside the network after I connect into this work network from home and what I would do to fix this problem?<br />
<br />
Thanks for your input.

Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) is a protocol suite for secure Internet Protocol (IP) communications by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet of a communication session. IPsec includes protocols for establishing mutual authentication between agents at the beginning of the session and negotiation of cryptographic keys to be used during the session. IPsec can be used in protecting data flows between a pair of hosts (host-to-host), between a pair of security gateways (network-to-network), or between a security gateway and a host (network-to-host). IPsec is an end-to-end security scheme operating in the Internet Layer of the Internet Protocol Suite.
