Hey Prassana,

Thanks for the quick reply. It seems to me that most of these 
troubleshooting steps would be more useful if I didn't know what the 
problem was. I've already investigated the logs, etc, and I can see 
exactly where the problem lies - my default admin zone policy isn't 
firing on  any of the IPs that are part of the admin zone.

I've dumped the logs and watched them in real time as I try to connect, 
and it's always the same - the packet is dropped under the very last 
policy, the net2all policy.

The question that's killing me is: why?

Thanks!
