I want to link two locations; one has a static Public IP, the other a dynamic Public IP. I would initiate the link from the dynamic to the static in all cases. I have set this type of link up elsewhere before but this time I can't seem to succeed. The static IP side uses its IP address to identify itself and the dynamic side uses a domain name to identify itself. I have checked the PSK, the peer identifiers (static IP for one side, domain name for the other) for accuracy and all seems proper. I want to link to subnet 10.10.1.0./24 on the static public IP side; 192.168.249.0/24 on the dynamic public IP side so there is no conflict there. To initiate the link I tried to open a web browser from the dynamic side and entered the static IP address of the Netvanta 3140 (10.10.1.1) in the address bar. I also tried to ping 10.10.1.1 from dynamic side to link to the other side. No connection happens. Perhaps I need to activate something else I missed. How can I debug further? Both have the latest enhanced firmware. How can I find out where things fail so I can resolve this?
