VPN via DSL: strange problem (long text)
----------
Hi.

I'm using a DSL-connection to connect to my office.
I'm using a "SMC Barricade 7008" to connect via T-DSL to a "Sonicwall Pro"
(connected to a G-703 link). since the DSL-router doesnt do VPN in hardware,
i use the Sonicwall VPN-Client on my laptop.

VPN works basically (using IKE), meaning i can ping all remote machines,
with 70ms response time.

But something seems to be very wrong:

- I can telnet a UNIX-box (running solaris 7), login is okay, i can do a
"ls" (brings right answer), but as soon as I try a "ls -l" the connection
hangs, after a few minutes it says "connection to host lost". but only "ls"
(without "-l" works inifinte times). i login as root.

- i can telnet to port 80 (http) on the same UNIX-box, even do a "GET
/index.html" (brings the standard apache startup page, which is right), but
i can not view this page using a browser and pointing it the ip-adress of
the server.

- i can ping the email-server, can to a telnet to port 25 (does not accept
message with "relaying denied" since i am not coming from the right
ip-adress-range) . i can to a telnet to 110 (login works, it displays "93
messages in inbox", but as soons as i want to display a message it hangs,
then times out). same thing seems to happen if it use a real email-client
and not telnetting to smtp/pop-ports.

I do not have access rules implemented in my dsl-router (block nothing), and
the log of the vpn-client only displays messages like "key exchange okay"
and nothing else, so i'm stuck.

does anybody have an idea what can be wrong?

Thanks in advance,

stefan
