IPSec VPN with SRX5308

Hi everyone,

I bought recently a SRX5308 firewall. I want to achieve a Client to Gateway IPSec VPN with this device. I used the VPN Wizard to configure the Gateway and I installed the Netgear VPN Prosafe client on a Windows 7 computer. I can open the tunnel but I get two issues :

* When the tunnel is open, I can't go on Internet (DNS fails)
* I can't ping any host in the remote LAN, even the VPN gateway.

I made some tests and I found that the client ping packets reach the LAN host I want to ping, the LAN host send its reply to gateway, but gateway doesn't arrive to send packets to the client.

What should I do to solve my problem ?

Thanks for your help.
