Not dumb at all. At this point I am looking for anything like that too. Thanks 
for the suggestion.

This is going to make me sound dumb and the suggestion that someone else
may have done the same thing may be even dumber but here goes...

In configuring a sonicwall to sonicwall VPN connection I configured both
ends correctly but with one expection, I named each end of the tunnel
something different. After a while it occurred to me, wait that's not
the name of the connection I set up on the other end. When I changed the
naming scheme suddenly the security negotiation started working. Boy did
I feel dumb. 

Perhaps you've overlooked something as simple as this? I've found the
Sonicwall logs to not be very helpful in troubleshooting. In the case
above, the Sonicwall would show the VPN as established even though it
wasn't. I too was unable to ping and had the same IPSEC error that you
listed. 

Food for thought anyway.

I am setting up the IPSec Tunnel VPN with ISA 2k4 and Sonicwall. I have
the oddest things happening with this. I see the tunnel establish on the
sonicwall and can see my network listed as one of the established
networks on the Sonicwall Device. When I try a ping from my ISA server I
get a string of "Negotiating IP Security" for my result. When I ping
from the Sonicwall side I get a no reply. 

I look inside of the logs of the Sonicwall logs and see the tunnel
establishing there as well, but, immediately afterwards I see "IKE
Responder: IPSec proposal does not match (Phase 2) IKE Responder: ESP
Perfect Forward Secrecy mismatch". I removed Perfect forward secrecy to
eliminate that and only received "IKE Responder: IPSec proposal does not
match (Phase 2)"

For ISA I have 3DES and SHA1 as my Encryption and Integrity Algorithms,
Generate a new key every 3600 seconds. On the Sonicwall I have my Phase
2 Encryption/Authentication set to "Strong Encrypt and Authenticate (ESP
3DES HMAC SHA1)". 

I have tried changing the Phase 2 information just to see if I generate
a different error. I get the same error but the tunnel doesn't establish
when I do that.

At this point it feels like so close but yet so far. Any ideas on what
else I can try?


Steve
