Sounds like the IPSec proxies don't match.

Subject: Checkpoint FW-1 -> Cisco VPN error



Hi All

I am getting a rather cryptic message after a successful IKE handshake
between CP FW-1 R55 and Cisco PIX (the PIX has been happily VPN'ing with
another PIX). Once the handshake has completed (successfully) and
traffic is attempted to be routed the CP firewall denies the traffic
stating:

encryption failure: Packet was decrypted, but policy says connection
should not be decrypted

I am using 'simplified mode' VPN configuration and have the external
interoperable devices as a part of the VPN star config and do not have
the tick box 'allow key exchange for subnets' ticked either in the
global properties or the properties of the VPN community.

I did find something after googling for the error message but this was
resolved by changing settings for MEP's and failover gateways which I do
not have in this instance.

Any thoughts? Any further info needed?

All help much appreciated.

Matt
