[Openswan Users] Error 678: There is no answer

Hi Guys

I keep getting this error from my windows2000 client trying to connect
to my Linux VPN gateway and using l2tp to tunnel into remote network.

Here is my ipsec.conf:

I have followed the Nate Carlson howto and got it working with ipsec
util.

I then followed the Jacco2 howto.

I can see the tunnel for a little while in ipsecmon but then it just
bombs.

Any help would be appreciated :)

Kind regards
