Hi Emma,

I tried a quick diagram of this with the FW in between the 3 networks
(LAN,Y,X) and came up short, when you say

"I connect to remote networks X and Y using two different routers and I'm *able
to* reach both remote networks. I am however *unable to *reach the
interface on the router connecting me to network Y"

>From which point in your network are you unable to reach Network Y, are you
able to reach it from elsewhere in the network proving it is not an
isolated node?  Do you have access to the two routers and firewall as the
routing table from them could indicate where the problem might lie. "TTL
Expired" is usually indicative of a routing loop, try a Ping / Trace Route
or looking at the routing tables of the devices within your realm to narrow
down where the problem might be..

For the nodes you can successfully ping, it is a 100% success rate or do
the packets drop sometimes, I would have another look at that BGP
configuration as introducing a new path improperly might mean packets go
down both routes resulting in funky scenarios ;-)

Cheers
