The IPsec part seems to be working, it is the L2TP part that
times out. Did you look at the L2TP logs? What L2TP server are
you using? Can you post your configuration file?

PSK with NAT-T is probably not a good combination.
(This has nothing to do with the current problem
because there is not NAT, of course. I just wanted
to point this out).

This won't work with NAT-T.

What do you mean with this? What is the difference?
