Bear with me, as I'm new to the Nortel and its configuration.
Essentially, a location has a Nortel Contivity 1010 that is set up with
the branch office connection to another site, this connection works
fine.

I have set up the Nortel with the ability to be a VPN server, which
works okay, users can log in, get an IP address, and access everything
on the local network without issue.

However, traffic does not pass to the branch office tunnel. If i run a
traceroute, the first hop is different, and not on the local network,
and then it times out. External users can, however, browse the
internet through the far site. I can also use terminal services to get
into another workstation and then browse across the branch office
tunnel with no problems.

An issue may be that VPN users receive an address on a different subnet
(the default 192.168.1 subnet) because when i attempted to modify this
to the local subnet, the nortel VPN server quit giving out addresses to
VPN users. A different problem, but fixing this may solve the problem
above.

Obviously a configuration problem on my end, but i don't know enough
about the nortels to fix it quickly and days on their knowledgebase
site has not resulted in anything useful on this problem. There are
instructions for pushing all traffic through the branch office tunnel,
but there is no internet access through that site and it would drop
everyone off the internet.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Hi.
You need to enable "Allow end user to branch office" in the
"System"->"Forwarding" menu on the 1010.
And of course you need to have routing for your clients IP-range through the
branch office tunnel.
