Route print is 100% correct with the network that need to tunnel....

Strange thing is that it works tonight....will try when the network is
under a bit of load and see

strange problem only working on PIX and not ASA - UDP works on both!

Hi, when you say you see packets being encrypted but nothing coming back
are you referring to your PC? What do you see coming into the ASA? It
sounds like it could be that your PC perhaps is not sending the traffic
to your internal 172.20.4.0 network over the tunnel? Try doing a "route
print" on your PC and see what that shows after you connect.

Thanks,

But I am able to VPN successfully using UDP but not TCP so that already
proves the config for the pool. It is only when I enable IPSec over TCP
on default port 10000 that no data passes. I get an IP address and see
packets being encrypted but nothing comes back...

The first thing comes to mind is the only difference between your
configs, the dhcp pool. Verify that your inside network has a path to
your asa vpn pool.

 problem only working on PIX and not ASA - UDP works on both!

Good day all,

I have a full working remote access VPN on both firewalls (PIX515E and
ASA5540). ASA is replacing the PIX at a new location.

Bother work perfectly with IPSec over UDP (nat-traversal UDP 4500) and
only the PIX515E works with TCP 10000. I can however connect the VPN up
& authenticate successfully on the ASA using IPSec over TCP, but I am
absolutely unable to pass any data through the tunnel. Change the
profile back to IPSec over UDP and it works perfectly.

My understanding here is that short of the IPSec setup to establish the
tunnel, all configuration is the same. If the port was blocked somewhere
the VPN would never connect

Any reason's you can think of why this does not work before I log the
case on TAC? Any pointers on where to look further? Again, the ASA and
PIX are identical in config (all aspects) & software except to local IP
pool being different so I can test parallel and being different hardware
platforms

Regards

Andrew
