[Openswan Users] Requesting help, no route to host

[Robert]

Hello again,

I reran traceroute using port 500.  Some further reading of the man page 
revealed that when using UDP the destination does not respond and the 
trace continues past it.  This was the strangeness that I recalled.

It looks like the XyWall is allowing things out.
