Hello,

Thank you for your warning for the secret keys but since I use them in my
totally insulated test LAN, there won't be any harm or issue regarding
security.

Actually those error messages in ipsec.secrets file were there before but I
noticed them recently and thought they might have a role for unsuccessful
connection. I added rekey=no to conn roadwarrior in ipsec.conf and moved
: RSA host.example.com.key "XXXXXXXX"

line at the beginning of the ipsec.secrets file.

After those changes, I still don't have the VPN connection.
The point that I don't understand is that  according to windows everything
is alright. It shows at the even viewer that SAs  are established.

I gotta do a lot of reading this weekend to figure out this issue. I will
write back again.




Best Regards

Can Akalin
