Thanks for the advice.  Weird part is (as I just discovered), the partner
site on the Cisco 3000 side has no problem tunneling through to my network
but I can't get to his.  Same issue?

I've seen this error many times.  What you need to do is make sure that the
checkpoint
does NOT suppernet the encryption domain on the checkpoint side.  If that
happens,
you will ALWAYS get a Quick mode error, or in Cisco word, "proxy id" error.

Do the following on the Checkpoint side:

1) Close the smartdashboard,
2) use Gui dbedit to edit this parameter:
"ike_use_largest_possible_subnet".  The default
is "true".  Change it to "false".
3) Save it before exiting gui dbedit.
4) Push the policy.
5) run "vpn tu" and clear out the tunnel.
6) initiate the traffic again.  you should be good to go.

It used to be that in NG Feature Pack 3, you have to modify the user.def
file to put in
individual networks behind the checkpoint that participate in the vpn
process.  However,
it is NOT needed in NG-AI (I tested it NG with AI R55W with hfa-02).

What happened here is that Checkpoint is suppernetting its encryption
domain.  Other
VPNs device such as Cisco IOS, Pix, and VPN Concentrator don't like it.

If you're not familiar with gui dbedit, then change the encryption domain
on the VPN
concentrator to accept a larger CIDR blocks to match with what it is
receiving from Checkpoint
and it will work too.  My personal preference is to modify the
"ike_use_largest_possible_subnet" parameter from "true" to "false".

Let me know if it is working for you.

I'm setting up an IPSEC VPN between my NG-AI R54 gateway and a partner's

(same IKE parameters, shared secret, etc), but every time I try to ping
from
my net to the partner net over the tunnel it fails with the same 3 log

Then the traffic fails because there is no valid SA.

Has anyone had some similar experience with this type of setup and knows
the
particulars??
All help appreciated.
