[Users] IKE not possible

Hy,
I installed freeswan last week to use it as an VPN Gateway for a
Windows2k machine.
On Windows 2000 i installed ssh sentinel V1.3.1(build9)
I created the x.509 certs, like the descriptions from stronsec.com.

Heres my failure from auth.log on the gateway, when i diagnostic the
VPN-Con from sentinel.
Jun 13 23:47:28 pro2 Pluto[10751]: packet from 217.234.11.46:500:\
 ignoring Vendor ID payload
Jun 13 23:47:28 pro2 Pluto[10751]: packet from 217.234.11.46:500:\
 initial Main Mode message received on a.b.c.d:500 but no\
 connection has been authorized

where pro2 = name of my vpn gateway
and 217.234.11.46 = dynamic IP from DSL Provider
and a.b.c.d = static, official Gateway IP

I read the documentations from strongsec.com from Nadeem Hasan, and the
pdf descriptions from ssh.com

The Windows2k Machine stand in my local private network behind a
linux machine NATing it with the dynamic IP.
The IPtables on the priv.linux gateway and the vpn.gateway don't reject
the Pakets from sentinel.

Here is my ipsec.conf on my vpn Gateway

#/etc/ipsec.conf
config setup
        interfaces=%defaultroute
        klipsdebug=none
        plutodebug=none
        plutoload=%search
        plutostart=%search
        uniqueids=yes

conn %default
        keyexchange=ike
        ikelifetime=240m
        keylife=60m
        compress=no
        authby=rsasig
        keyingtries=0
        pfs=yes
        leftcert=pro2.vpn.gw.cert.pem
        right=%any
        rightrsasigkey=%cert
        auto=add

conn losjetzt
        type=tunnel
        leftsubnet=192.168.0.0/24

My aim is, to get a very simple installation of a windows2000 vpn client
wich can connect to my vpn gateway.

Sorry if this is a FAQ, but i didnt find anything about the
error-message googling with "initial Main Mode message"
I'm subscribed since a few days only, and the archive is not searchable.

Regards

Christoph
