I'm glad we're coming to the same conclusions on the routing tables and
setup, at least I know I'm not crazy.

Until someone convinces me otherwise (and that may happen), I don't think
there should be any static routes on the RRAS boxes and I don't think
routing tables have anything to do with it.

As for the traffic, pings succeed from the Fairfax RRAS box to the Boston
RASS box, and strangely enough even pinging CLIENTS on the Boston side
from
the Fairfax RRAS box succeeds. When pinging the Fairfax RRAS box from
Boston,
however, failure occurs. The tracert from the Boston RRAS box to the
Fairfax
RRAS box fails right from the start, so at least it doesn't appear to be

A pair or RRAS boxes in a Site-to-Site Connection each have to "dial" each
other to have a "complete" two-way connection. It sounds like Fairfax has
properly "dialed" Boston but Boston has not properly "dialed" Fairfax. So
pings initiated from Fairfax to Boston succeed,...while pings initiated from
Boston to Fairfax fail.

Once a connection is "dialed" the routing table is dynamically
altered,...however this is not a static route or routing table issue.
