Hello again all,
Well I tried what was suggested to no avail. I was able to get the IPSec VPN tunnel up again only thing is that the SSL VPN was also still up. After about an hour or so I checked the on line status of the IPSec and found it was disconnected and the SSL VPN was active and connected. I even went so far as to manualy re-configure both the SRX5308 and the FVS336Gv3 routers same exacxt thing happened again. Is there a way to turn off the SSLVPN or not? How difficult is the SSLVPN to set up, and do I need an SSL certificate for each router? I really need to get this tunnel established and working properly ASAP. Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Hello All again,
I have had some new developements in this issue I am having. The SSLVPN seems to be on all the time. I can initate the IPSec VPN tunnel and after a while it stops and the only thing showing is the SSLVPN connection. Is there a way to stop the SSLVPN connection? I have tried to DISCONNECT the SSLVPN from both routers but it will not disconnect. Each time I try I am sent back to the log on screen saying my session has expired and I need to log back in. I have tried this on both Routers and get the same responce. If I DISCONNECT the IPSec tunnel it disconnects it like it should. then I can also re-establish the IPSec tunnel.
I have a logfile of the IPSec VPN connections and it shows, at least to me, that the IPSec all of a sudden breaks the connection and cannot re-establish it. Do you need me to post the log or a portion of it? Please let me know and I will post it. Again thanks for your assistance
