Not quite like that - I just connect to the central gateway via secure
remote.
I then go a box behind the Nokia directly (don't think site-to-site VPN is
involved at this point).
The remote address shown up is the (private) IP assigned by the ISP though.

If the remote traffic is not going to the LAN-behind-Nokia via the site-to-site VPN, how does it get there? Is there also some type of WAN connection in addition to the site-to-site VPN?

Are you using SecuRemote or SecureClient? Office Mode is only supported by SecureClient. I know some people figured out that some versions of SecuRemote can work with Office Mode, but you have to imagine that Check Point will eventually fix that bug.

That's something I'm not sure about: shouldn't the return traffic be routed
via the Nokia?
It doesn't have to go via the central gateway, right?

If you're connecting from the Internet to the central gateway, then all return traffic must be routed out the same gateway you connected to. When you're using Office Mode and have multiple Internet gateways, you need to put in a route on all routers so Office Mode IP addresses are routed out the same gateway that they came from. If you're using multiple gateways and all are configured for Office Mode, I think they all have to use different Office Mode subnets.

If you get on the X box remotely, like by SSH, perform a traceroute to an Office Mode address and see how it routes.

The remote address shown up is the (private) IP assigned by the ISP though.

So your ISP is assigning a private IP address to its customers?

Sorry for more questions. I just want to make sure I understand your topology.
