Perhaps Terry could try with right=<fixedIPaddress> first and then
later on switch to %any.

I have seen this lots of times when the peer could not be authenticated.
I don't know if this is specific to Windows, transport mode or L2TP/IPsec
or something, but it seems to be just a result of the previous
authentication problem.

I don't think this is even configurable in the built-in Windows
client.

Sadly, the default policy of the Windows client is to reject PFS
(*insert conspiracy theory here*). See also:
