sw tunnel through a 3002 hw tunnel fails

Situation:

PC--neta-->3002----internet--->3005---netb--->FW---internet---->PIX

I can establish a vpn tunnel with PIX from netb from a PC. When I try to establish a tunnel from PC on neta

it fails.

Anyone know if it is posible to have a sw tunnel inside a 3002 hw tunnel. I have tried

different mtu settings on the PC.

The client (3.6.6) error is DEL_REASON_PEER_NOT_RESPONDING.

I presume the existing tunnel is between the 3002 and the 3005, not the PIX, correct? What version are you running on the 3005?

There is a bug in 3.6 code where the concentrator will just blindly strip off IPSec headers on a packet until it gets to a non-IPSec header, even though those headers may not be destined for it specifically. For example, it would strip off the IPsec header for the 3002-3005 tunnel, but then it would see another IPSec header for the PC-PIX tunnel, rathern than forward this on it will strip off this IPSec header also, the ndrop the packet cause it's not valid for it.
