what's the output of 'netstat -rn' or 'route' on the linux box?
Do you see anything in the logs (could be /var/log/messages,
/var/log/secure, /var/log/syslog, etc) about the connection being
established?
do you get (on the windows box) the 'negotiating ip security' messages?
And, as for the last problems that you're experiencing, what exactly is
your purpose for setting up the vpn? With it, you can securely do
anything across the internet as if the 2 hosts (or subnets) are directly
connected. You can run samba and windows networking across the tunnel,
or most any other thing.
Regards,
glen
