[Openswan Users] ipsec no response

[Rick Knight]

Hello list.

I'm new here and new to Openswan.

I'm trying to start a VPN tunnel from my notebook PC at home to my 
office network. At the office we have a SonicWall 3060 enhanced firewall 
with GroupVPN enabled. The VPN works well with Windows XP / 2000 
clients. I want to be able to connect from my Linux notebook (Kubuntu 
Feisty Fawn (7.04)). I've read through the docs at Openswan and at 
SonicWall, but I still cannot get things to work. I can start ipsec and 
I can add connections, but when I try to connect I get nothing. By that 
I mean when I issue the command "$ sudo ipsec auto --up group" I get 
prompted for my sudo password, I enter that and hit return and then 
nothing. No indication that anything is happening. Absolutely no 
feedback at all. If I do $ ps at another term windows I can see that 
whack is running. If I monitor my firewall I see no attempt from the 
ipsec to make any connection to the host. Can someone help with this? I 
am attaching copies of my ipsec.conf and ipsec.secrets (de-personalized 
of course).

Thanks,
Rick Knight
