VPN Gateway behind a firewall (NAT)

Hello,

I want to establish a VPN tunnel, our VPN GW is a Cisco ASA. The partner VPN is behind a firewall. It has an internal IP which is natet in a public IP.

I don't know why, but it doesn't work.

Is there a problem to establish a VPN connection with a GW which is behind a firewall and will be nated?

Hello,

I have the same /similar problem. I am trying to estalish GW-to-GW session. One GW hase direct public ip address assigned, the other is behind nat (of course ports are forwarded in-out to private ip address of second GW). I get the same log messages as yours without NAT-T. With direct public ip's on both sides there is no problem and tunnel goes up....

Anyone has an idea how to fix that?

EDIT: I found the cause. On one GW NAT-T option was not enabled. After enabling everything is working just fine :-)

Cheers.
