SONICFAIL and Cisco PIX vpn troubles

Ok so I have a problems.

I am replacing a PIX 506e at one of our remote sites with a Sonicwall TZ210. Configuring it wasn't that difficult but now I am having a very interesting issue. I have a site to site VPN tunnel to a PIX 515 that is at our corporate office. The VPN tunnel turns up (as in I can actually see the tunnel show up on Sonicwall side and the Cisco side) but no traffic will pass. I called Sonicwall support whose only answer is "it is on the Cisco side). I explained to them that plugging the PIX 506e works fine. Has anyone seen any issues like this?

I quickly found this. I'm guessing you've looked it over or maybe you haven't. Either way I hope it helps.

I have not seen this with a sonicwall but I have seen this with WG and Cisco VPNs. WG has a whole tech article on how to make VPNs between those two devices work correctly.

I had a problem with a Cisco and a Checkpoint, turned out the techs on the other side (China) had problems understanding English and were just trying out different things until they got the tunnel up. Guess I can't blame that on the manufacturer.

That was the document I was following. It seems pretty straight forward.

The thing is everything works on the cisco side (if I plug in the old pix it works fine). Plus no TAC on the PIX

Technically and logically this would be useless since it's just a display.

Haha you get the idea. I just understand his frustration, I've been there unfortunately not with something like this
