    ok this is something obvious that i'm missing , heres the setup:


    galway network :

    100.100.5.x
    255.255.0.0


    waterford network

    10.1.1.x
    255.255.255.0

    dc is in galway with 100.100.5.1

    waterford have a member server : 10.1.1.1

    site to site vpn is in place.

    anyone in waterford (10.1.1.x) can ping galway (100.100.5.1) server - all is cool.

    the server in galway (100.100.5.1) can ping the waterford (10.1.1.1) server - this also is cool

    however workstations in waterford (100.100.5.x)cannot find the server in galway (10.1.1.1).

    i have checked the dns forwarders , which seem to be ok given that the 100.100.5.1 can traverse the vpn and ping the 10.1.1.1

    the vpn is obviously working (at least for forwarding requests from 100.100.5.1), the routers are netgear w834gv5 (indentical firmware both sites)

    I've tried to be as clear as i can be - any ideas ??

    Problem was with the vpn policy.

    howdy ,
    what i had done was allowed 10.1.1.0 through one end of the vpn , but only allowed 100.100.5.1 back up the pipe.
    what i changed on both routers policies was changed it to 100.100.5.0 to allow any pc on the 100.100.5.x range to communicate with the 10.1.1.x network.


    Because i did most of my testing on the server machines , it slipped through.
