ARP prob on remote side

avldwx

I'm trying to disconnect a T1 direct line between two locations and replace it with a DSL'd IPSEC tunnel. Windows SMB and IP printing are fine, but this embedded biometric timeclock isn't cooporating. We download from it with a oldish Windows winsock program.

Fine over the T1, but a DLINK IKE Autokey tunnel didn't work, and now two pfSense RC2 boxes don't work, so I may be stuck.

Ethereal isn't exporting for me, so… I loaded Wireshark

pfsense does a Gratuitous ARP to find the timeclock (192.168.2.244) for the packets coming over the tunnel from x.1.102
delivers the request.
Then pfsense asks the remote subnet where the x.1.102 machine is instead for taking ownership of delivering the x.1.102 packets.
(the Entersys router for the T1 does this)
It's "Who has 192.168.1.102? Tell 192.168.2.244 "
The LAN pfSense interface doesn't respond.
pfSense isn't in the conversation because I was filtering for 192.168.2.244 only. but where's it at like the Entersys below? Ah, the magic of IPSEC!!!

~~I can post the ethereal captures. THANKS!!~~

I don't see the RST, ACKs when on the host side.

Looking at this further, is NAT involved?? the ports are incrementing in the first set of replies : 4688, then 4690, 4691, 4693 (that's why I posted so much of it.)
