Shorewall users - Apr 2008 - GRE Tunnel problems

Hello,

I am doing some tests in my local network to test a GRE tunnel 
configuration. I can established a tunnel but if I stop send packets 
trough the tunnel , the tunnel goes down. I need to make ping from one 
side of the tunnel to the another side to wake up the tunnel.

What could be my problem ?? Could be the VirtualBox ??

Thank you!
