I'm afraid this was a misunderstanding

it's not

lan - sonicwall - freeswan - netscreen - lan

making the freeswan box another gateway. The freeswan box isn't a gateway
it's supposed to be a sniffing machine with 2 eths but only one attached to
a network.

The scheme looks like this:

        freeswan box netscreen
   lan_if wan_if --- wan_if lan_if -- lan

I can connect from the netscreen lan to the freeswan box' lan_if
But I cannot ping or telnet mailhost 25 any machine in the netscreen lan
from the freeswan box. but that's what I need most. I intend to send alerts
through the ipsec tunnel.

TIA

Philipp
