I have a VPN setup for my company with a Netgear FVS318 and am testing at home on my cable modem asj ust a winxp client connection. When I ping to my home pc from company I get the right ip back but no response. When I ping the company from my home pc I get a different ip than i ping. I ping a 162.*.*.* and get abck a 166.*.*.* which the dns servers on the alltel dsl are a 166.*.*.* dunno why this could be any ideas?

Receiving a reply from a different IP

Symptoms: when you ping a public IP, you may receive reply from a different IP, for example,
ping 4.2.2.1
Pinging 4.2.2.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 209.165.105.129: Destination net unreachable.
Causes: If you have incorrect IPSec settings, you may have above mentioned symptom.
