   Many things could be wrong. The numbering implies that you have two   
   networks, 192.168.0.0/24 and 192.168.2.0/24. Does the D-Link router route   
   both of these networks? Do the server and firewall (inside interface)   
   point to the D-Link as their gateway? Does the VPN client point to the   
   D-Link as its gateway? Are the server and firewall running Windows XP with   
   the default firewall turned on? If so, can they even ping one another?
