[Openswan Users] Please, please help! WinXP Roadwarrior won't connect! (logs included)

Hello all,

The (Linux) VPN server doesn't understand this configuration option. On
the WinXP side I can include it in the ipsec.conf, but without any
effect.

That doesn't help either, 'cause what is listed in the FreeSwan entries,
is *bit* *by* *bit* the same string that's listed in the ipsec.conf.
Aren't those security policy entries created by IPSEC.exe while reading
the ipsec.conf, so that they'll *automatically* be identical?

Has anyone got any other ideas?
