cannot telnet in a VPN tunnel, why?

[Michelle]

Hello,

I have set up a VPN tunnel between 2 Sonic Wall routers. From
location A, I can access network shared drives located at location B.
But from location A, using a Windows XP computer, I cannot telnet to
any Solaris UNIX workstations located at location B. Whenever I use
telnet, I get error about cannot open port 23.

Does Sonic Wall lock out port 23? Any suggestions how to fix this
problem? Thanks.

Doubt it.

Can you contact the Solaris boxes in any other way? Like maybe Ping?

If the SonicWall is blocking anything,...it will show it in the logging.
Firewalls don't typically block things and then not leave a record of it.

Hello,

This is not a Microsoft issue, you should post in a newsgroup or forum
dedicated to sonicwall...
Anyway, does these solaris have the route to location a (or the
sonicwall in location b as default gateway) ?
Are you able to ping solaris from location a ?

For the telnet command, are you using ip of servers or hostname ? do you
have dns resolution ?
