Not getting internet access

Hi,

We recently started using NSX, but we are having some issues getting set-up. At first, we tried plugging two VMs behind a logical router, which itself had an uplink towards an Edge Gateway. The gateway doesn't have any problem to ping either internet or the VMs. The VM can ping each others and the dLR, but not the Gateway nor the internet. And, directly from the Router, we can't ping a thing.

Taking that last point into account, we decided to try any bypass the router altogether. We connected the VMs directly to the Gateway. This time, anything can ping anything, except for the fact that the two VMs can't ping the internet.

We tried looking around the internet, but everywhere we've looked it just seems to work and we can't really find the place we did something wrong.

Thanks in advance for your answer.

PS: both the Edges have a "Allow *" policy for the tests to make sure it was not the issue.

It works now. Strangely. Actually, what I did to make it work was to redeploy the DLR node. I think there was one of the configuration that was not really activated and caused all the trouble. A huge thanks for the help and the hand holding.
