Hi People,

I am a first timer with IPsec VPN and Openswan.
I am setting up an IPsec VPN from a Linux box to Cisco router.
Linux: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Openswan U2.6.23/K2.6.32-30-server (netkey)
Cisco: Cisco 2821

Here is the IPsec network diagram
172.19.253.0/29 === 210.4.xx.xxx --- 210.4.xx.xxx ... 203.112.xxx.xx
--- 203.112.xxx.xx === 10.1.4.0/24;
                                       Linux VPN box
                                               Cisco router


"ipsec status" says my tunnel is up and some eroutes exist. But I can
not reach the destination network.
I am trying to ping 10.1.4.8 like below and unsuccessful;

ping 10.1.4.8 -I 172.19.253.1
PING 10.1.4.8 (10.1.4.8) from 172.19.253.1 : 56(84) bytes of data.

^C
--- 10.1.4.8 ping statistics ---
14 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 13007ms

Please help me here.
