[Openswan Users] IPsec/l2tp connection doesn't work so good..

[Janantha Marasinghe]

Hi Eugenio,

Is your VMware machine is using bridge mode? or on NATTED mode? In your 
VPN server can you tracerroute to the gateway and see if it goes 
correctly. I think this is a routing issue.. in your VPN server what is 
your default gateway?
