It sounds like DHCPRELAY is enabled on the inside interfaces of the cisco 
firewalls, which is not what you want. It's allowing the packets to get to 
the opposite side of the tunnel.

Subject:        [NTSysADM] strange network issue
Sent by:        listsad...@lists.myitforum.com



2 offices, both have cisco rv220w firewalls, both use Comcast business and 
are across the street from each other.  Office A has a 192.168.0.0 network 
and office B has a 10.0.1.0 network.  Each offices respective firewall 
handles dns and dhcp.
 
Background:  I set a site to site vpn between the two locations.  They can 
access each other’s offices.
 
Problem: I go in today because users complain they cannot access certain 
file share.  I look at their IP address on the workstation sharing the 
files in Site B and sure enough, they have IP addresses from site A. 
 
I’ve been pulling my hair out trying to figure out how this is possible. I 
decided to kill the vpn, reboot both firewalls.  I do a ipconfig /release 
and /renew on the said file server (workstation), it still pulls an IP 
address from site A.  I then give the said workstation a static IP from 
its own subnet, everything works fine.  I can access everything in its own 
subnet.  I cannot access the Site A.
 
I then tested and gave it a static IP from the remote office (Site A).  I 
can now see everything in the remote office.
 
I decided to shutdown the firewall and Comcast modem.  You would think I 
can’t get out of the office but I can still access the remote site and 
even get online.
 
What in the world is the problem?  Is it possible Comcast came out, did 
some work and screwed something up?  I have a Comcast field tech coming 
out in a few hours but would like to figure out what the heck is going on.
 
Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do to troubleshoot this?
