PIX to 827 Router vpn tunnel can only be started in one direction

[paulmcl]

Can't work this out - anyone any thoughts......

Site1 PIX with many working vpn tunnels
Site2 827 Router with working vpn config

When tunnel is up it works okay in both directions. If the tunnel is left idle it stops responding for pings from hosts behind 827 to hosts behind PIX fail. If you ping in reverse (PIX hosts to 827 hosts) the tunnel starts working and all host can ping each other in both directions.

I also have similar problem using PIX to 827 (another two sites not connected) and if the tunnel idles it can only be restarted from the 827 side - exactly the oppsoite!

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Paul
