Aaron,

I've followed that howto and I still cannot connect. The only thing he 
has that I don't is the IPSec patches applied.  I am assuming he means 
the linux-patch-openswan patches because they do patch IPSec to handle 
NAT-T. I'll wait to hear from you tomorrow about your kernel.

Thanks again,
Rick Knight
