I have managed to setup a connection between a Lancom 1612 router, a company 
well-known in Germany (former ELSA), and I would like to contribute a 
interoperating description once everything is working. But I have a problem 
that is not related to the VPN router : on one end of the tunnel, the packets 
do not propagate into the internal network.

Here is the configuration : 


192.168.2.x/255.255.255.0===LANCOM (dynamic IP)->   INTERNET

<-static router (a.b.c.133)<-FreeSwan (a.b.c.134)===172.17.x.x/255.255.0.0

I can 
- establish a connection between the two VPN gateways
- ping the internal address of the FreeSwan gateway 172.17.0.45 from "left" 
network

I cannot 
- ping another system in the "right" network
- ping anything on the left side from the right side

This seems to me to be a routing issue. Firewalling is not involved; I checked 
this by switching off all firewalls. 

Here is my FreeSwan 2.01 non-opportunistic configuration : 

conn test
    authby=secret
    pfs=no
    left=a.b.c.134
    [EMAIL PROTECTED]
    leftsubnet=172.17.0.0/255.255.252.0
    leftnexthop=a.b.c.133
    right=%any               # Remote information
    [EMAIL PROTECTED]       #
    rightsubnet=192.168.2.0/255.255.255.0
    auto=add                       # authorizes but doesn't start this
                                   # connection at startup

I am not sure why I need the leftnexthop parameter; this router is a static 
router without NAT. But if I leave it out, I do not get a connection because 
the inserted route command fails. (FreeSwan then sets the dynamic IP of the 
other end as gateway)



Does anybody have a clue what I am doing wrong ??
