Help routing traffic over Freeswan VPN


Hi

I want to set up a vpn between two linux boxes to enable file sharing and more secure administration.

This is what my network looks like:
Code:
     LAN_1---------------Gateway_1------internet------Gateway_2-----------LAN_2
192.168.1.0/24          192.168.1.1                 192.168.10.1     192.168.10.0/24
                              |________________________|
                                    IPSEC Tunnel
I have installed FreeSwan on both systems, and it seems to be working ok as I can ping Gateway_2 from LAN_1.

However, I still have a couple of problems. I cannot ping LAN_2 from LAN_1, neither can I ping Server_2 from Server_1 (through the tunnel).

I have been trying to work out how to use iptables to forward the correct traffic.

Can anybody help?

Does anyone know of any tools I can use to work out where the packets are being dropped, and which rule is dropping them?

I have been using tcpdump at both ends to look at the traffic, but I am unsure if this is showing packets before or after iptables has done its thing.

Any advice would be very much appreciated

I am running ClarkConnect Home edition on both servers, which is a server/firewall distro based on Redhat 9
