Yes, you answered a thread about this earlier, but the thread seemed to die 
without a conclusion.

SELinux is disabled.  The IP address I have has not changed.

When you say the config file, you mean my ipsec.conf, correct?

config setup
        plutodebug="none"
        nat_traversal=yes
        virtual_private=%v4:10.1.1.0/24

conn internap
     left=216.182.228.41
     leftsubnet=216.182.228.0/25
     leftid=@AmazonEC2
     leftxauthclient=yes
     right=207.115.74.31
     rightsubnet=10.1.1.0/24
     rightxauthserver=yes
     rightid=@ABCDEABCDE01
     keyingtries=0
     pfs=yes
     aggrmode=yes
     auto=add
     auth=esp
     esp=3des-md5-96
     ike=3des-md5-96
     authby=secret
     xauth=yes

Probably more information than you need (or maybe than I should share!) but 
I really want to see if this would work.  Thanks, guys.
