Hi Paul,

Thanks for the tips.  I still do not have it working, but have made some
changes and seem to have further progress.  I removed the
192.168.24.0/24 subnet from the windows computer, I only want it to be
able to connect to the VPN.  I am now able to see the windows box trying
to make a connection from the openswan box.

I get the following:

On the XP machine when I try to ping a system connected to the openswan
box I now get "Negotiating IP Security." but no actual ping responses.

The following is my current Windows XP configuration:

conn kift-vpntestbox
 right=%any
 left=192.168.4.9
 leftsubnet=192.168.25.0/24
 leftca="C=US, S=Arizona,L=Phoenix,O=Century 21 Metro
Alliance,CN=metro.libolt.net,Email=libolt at libolt.net"
 network=auto
 auto=start
 pfs=yes

conn kift-vpntestbox-net
 right=%any
 left=192.168.4.9
 leftca="C=US,S=Arizona,L=Phoenix,O=Century 21 Metro
Alliance,CN=metro.libolt.net,Email=libolt at libolt.net"
 network=auto
 auto=start
 pfs=yes

The following is my current openswan configuration.

conn kift-vpntestbox
        right=%any
        rightcert=kift.libolt.net.pem
        left=%defaultroute
        leftsubnet=192.168.25.0/24
        leftcert=vpntestbox.libolt.net.pem
        auto=add
        pfs=yes

conn kift-vpntestbox-net
        leftsubnet=192.168.25.0/24
        also=kift-vpntestbox
