SOLVED: pfSense box can't ping/access systems on Remote Site

[neilp]

Hi

I'm hoping for some help in troubleshooting a probably easy to fix problem. Here's the scenario:

I have an IPSec VPN up and working between (pfSense router on) Site A (10.1.1.0/24) and (Sonicwall router on) Site B (192.168.42.0/24)

From machines on Site B I can ping/connect to and access machines on Site A. From machines on Site A I can do likewise to machines on Site B.

Except for the pfSense box. If I ssh into the pfSense box (from Site B) I can't ping anything on Site B, I can't do nslookup queries against an NS server on Site B, etc.

It's quite perplexing ??? Anyone ran into this before? Can you please suggest ways to troubleshoot or fix it ? :)

Thanks in advance.
Neil
