[Openswan Users] 2003 server cant connect

[Herbert Zimbizi]

On the virtual_private ,%v4:!192.168.1.0/24 does this not refer to my LAN
behind the VPN Server. My lan has 192.168.0.0/24 and would like to use
192.168.254.0/24 for the roadwarriors. I still have the same result anyway
with your suggestions.

Don't you mean something like:
virtual_private=%v4:192.168.0.0/16,%v4:!192.168.0.0/24

Actually, I would recommend allowing a more broader range for remote
clients behind NAT:

virtual_private=%v4:10.0.0.0/8,%v4:172.16.0.0/12,%v4:192.168.0.0/16,%v4:!192
.168.1.0/24

There are some limitations with a PSK when NAT is involved.

This leftsubnet= should not be used for L2TP/IPsec.

You do need this line, at least for Vista clients that you might have.
