Route Addition Issues



I'm hoping someone can help me here.... I seem to be having issues with
setting routes to other networks on my Windows 2000 server

The basic setup is this, we have recently moved our servers to a co-location
solution down in london (our office is in manchester) so we now have several
subnets that we operate on. They are set up like this:

Manchester LAN 172.16.1.0/24
Hosting Trusted VLAN: 172.16.30.0/24
Hosting DMZ VLAN: 172.16.20.0/24

If i attach a desktop machine to the manchester network it can ping
everything on the trusted and dmz networks fine as the routes are in the
router and work

However, we have a checkpoint firewall built on a hardened 2000 server on
our network also. This provides access via a VPN for my homeworkers onto my
manchester network (until the weekend we had all servers at manchester. If i
connect through the firewall VPN as a home worker, i can see the
172.16.1.0/24 lan no problem, and i can ping the router on 172.16.1.1 that
routes me to my hosted servers

The problem i have is that i cant see any further down the network then the
MPLS router that gets me to our servers.

I logged onto the firewall and checked that the card on the LAN could ping
the 172.16.1.1 gateway and it could, but not any of my other networks. So to
let the server know the route (its default gateway is the public IP card as
its a VPN server) i added a static route like this:

route -p add 172.16.30.0 mask 255.255.255.0 172.16.1.1

So if i ever tried to connect to the co-lo servers, it would know the route
to those networks was through 172.16.1.1 not its re-set default gateways.
The only issue is that these still dont work and i cant ping or connect to
anything off the local LAN.

Is this something to do with the route add command, or that its a hardened
install of Windows 2000 or is this more likely cos i have checkpoint
installed and its causing the issues?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance
Simon
