Hello,

Config: 
Right: OpenSwan 2.1.5 (RPM) on Fedora Core 3 default kernel 2.6.9 
iptables 1.2.11  network 192.168.100.0/24
Left: a Netwinder (ARM processor) using FreeSWAN 1.3 kernel 2.2.14 
ipchains 1.3.9 network 192.168.101.0/24

- all was good when I ran SuperFreeSWAN 1.99 on right on 2.2 kernel 
(upgraded to new machine) 
- VPN is up, ping both ways no problem. 
- left side net host (eg 192.168.101.202) can connect (telnet, cvs etc) 
to any host on the right (eg 192.168.100.10)
- right side host (eg 192.168.100.22) CAN'T connect to any host n the 
left (eg 192.168.101.202)
- left side log has: Jan  4 20:22:32 dfcottawa kernel: ip_demasq_esp(): 
Inbound from 207.164.133.170 SPI E4B7F7AC has no masq table entry

Google search didn't help much and I couldn't find an archive for the 
mailing list.  From things I did found this could be an issiue with my 
iptables?  Or an issue with the way the IPSEC packets pass through the 
kernel?  Could OpenSWAN 2.3 with KLIPS on the 2.6 Kernel fix this? 

Thoughts?  Thanks, Jeff
