I did some skimming through the VPN chapter (11) on SonicWall's web
site.

Is the box for 'Disable all VPN Windows Networking (NetBIOS)
broadcast' checked in Global IPSec Settings?

(There's also a note about NOT initially Enabling Fragmented Packet
Handling.)

I really doubt it matters but 'an only 1 dynamic IP allowed' note is
mentioned on page 144.

Are your subnet masks, local & subnetted remote LAN settings
absolutely/positively/100% correct? Do they include network &
broadcast addresses?
