I'll try and generate a dump on all the interfaces tommorow when I'm again
on the other side of the server. I have simplied the problem somewhat (I
think). Here is the problem: with a little more detail this time (and
re-written).

Summary: klip seems to be dropping inbound ipsec packets.

"gateway" (left) - also acting as firewall to internal network
FreeS/WAN 1.98b (unmodified)
Debian Linux (woody), Kernel 2.4.18
External Interface = 12.229.136.40 (mask 255.255.252.0) (eth0)
Default GW = 12.229.136.1

"roadwarrior" - (right) laptop
FreeSWAN 1.98b (unmodified)
Debian Linux (woody), Kernel 2.4.18
External Interface = dhcp assigned (eth0)
Default GW = dhcp assigned (eth0)

tunnel (right now) is pretty simplistic

(gateway) --- internet --- (laptop)

No Nat translation going on, laptop and gateway can ping one
another without ipsec tunnel in place.

Problem Details/Description:

When tunnel comes up, I can't reach the gateway from my client. I
assume the ipsec tunnel is operating correctly as both sides see a
ipsec session, and authenticate. If neccesary, I can drop back to
manual authentication, but it seems to negotiating a session okay
with auto.

On the roadwarrior machine (laptop): pings to the server are sent
out over ipsec0. tcpdump confirms icmp messages being sent out.
But with no reply.

On the gateway (server): a tcpdump of ipsec0 shows zilch - no traffic
at all seems to be reaching the 'tunnel' interface. eth0 shows incoming
ipsec traffic. There are some interesting error messages generated
when I turn klipdebugging on. ifconfig also shows dropped packets on
the interface.

Error Messages:

With klipdebug=all, I noticed... (on the gateway)

If that isn't enough information, I can also provide barf's from both
clients, but I figured since they're so large, I'd post them as a last
resort.

Thanks for your time...
