Morning all,

I wonder if anyone has seen this problem before and knows what the issue is:

I've set up an site-site VPN between a 6503 and a 2600 internally, to mock what's going to happen when the 6503's move to a seperate site.

The tunnel comes up ok and I can ping the far end networks no problem (and vise versa). The problem comes if I try to telnet, ssh or basically use the

far networks in any way. Say for example I try to telnet to a switch there, the port seems to open but nothing happens (if I do it from DOS I get the blank

black screen showing the port is open). Same for SSH to a linux machine on one of the far networks.

The ports appear to open but I get no login prompts or anything. I can see the packets coming and going so it's really strange.

Have I just missed something really basic that you'll tell me in about 5mins or is this a deeper problem?

Thanks,

Anthony
