Can you ping the IP address of the Sonic Wall? Actually, Ping is probably turned off so scratch that. Can you verify that the sonicwall on the other end is up and running?

Just re-read your post so scratch the whole first reply. Sorry, my eyes are crossing...it's been a loong day....
From what I've read, there are some problems with the Belkin and VPN passthrough. If that router has a firewall, turn it off for a moment to test the VPN. Also, I've seen some problems re: MTU settings. Both devices (SonicWall and your router) should be set to the same MTU (usually 1500). Lastly, update the firmware on your router. Make a backup copy of your current config first then follow the instructions on Belkin's website.
Good luck,
J

I,m not sure what went right but, after rerading your post I disabled the firewall on the router still noluck. I then read how SP2 was causing issues with port enableing so I disabled Windows Firewall. It worked, and now it even works with the firewall enabled. I guess it took some combination of the two.

Thanks for your help
