You are correct I am trying to establish a vpn connection using a pc located behind the firewall to a remote network.
I have loaded the VPN masquerade "helper" ip_masq_ipsec. This hasn't helped though. I did start with a floppy version of the firewall which I altered to boot from hard disk. I thought I used the kernel which supports VPN/ipsec. Is there anyway I can check on this?
The easiest way is probably to check the file-size of your kernel against the various Dachstein kernels. Also, I think if you're using the wrong kernel (one setup for running ipsec on the firewall), when you run "ip addr", there will be four ipsec interfaces, in addition to the local loopback interface and any ethernet (or other normal network) interfaces you have...I just don't remember if the ipsec interfaces show up prior to running any of the ipsec startup scripts, but I think they do.
Anyway, since you're running off a hard-disk, you probably want one of the "normal" kernels:

NOTE: You *DO NOT* want one of the -IPSec kernels! These include support for running IPSec on the firewall. You probably want the kernel with IDE support:
