MPLS VPN Question

Hey Group- I just joined the forum a few days ago and have enjoyed the
conversations going back and forth, many active participants!

Anyway I have my first question about MPLS VPN configuration. I just have
a single-customer "Customer A" topology:
(CEA-1)--->(PE1)--->(P)--->(PE2)--->(CEA-2). The mpls and mp-bgp operation
looks good but I am unable to ping between the CE routers. Trying to ping
the P2P links between directly-connected PE and CE routers, from either the
CE or PE on the opposite side of the mpls network. The routes are in the
CustomerA vrf on the CE routers. One weird thing I noticed when I try to
ping between directly-connected PE and CE (CEA1 and PE1) or (CEA2 and PE2),
if I ping from the PE router, it fails. However, if I ping the PE router
from the CE router, it is successful. Not sure if that has anything to do
with it but thought it odd.

I am using gns3, with all 3640 routers running IOS
c3640-jk9s-mz.124-16.bin.

Let me know if configs or any show outputs would help, didn't want to
bombard everyone with them up front. Thanks for any help!

Regards,

Scott
